Biografia essenziale
Elsa Mencagli (DK/IT) is a multimedia artist currently based in Italy. She holds a Bachelor from Aarhus
School of Architecture (Denmark, 2016) and a Masters of Fine Art in Performing Arts from Iceland University
of the Arts (Iceland, 2019). As a multimedia artist, she creates and thinks across media, from sculptural
installation to video and performance. Through practices of attentive listening and attunement to both the
body and the environment, her creative work takes form in the attempt to reveal and make felt what often
remains unnoticed. She is interested in crafting conditions to experience diverse modes of encounter that
may create shifts in perception and propose different modes of inter-relation. Her work is often situated in
a specific environment, becoming with and within it.
She is also a co-founder of Celestial Bodies – a platform for artistic exchange which aim is to create
encounters to foster cross-disciplinary collaborations among female identifying artists across Europe.
