Elisa Giardina Papa

Elisa Giardina Papa’s (IT) research-based practice investigates the performance of gender, sexuality, and labor in digital AI economies. Working across large scale video installation, drawings, sculptures, and theoretical texts, she documents how past and present forms of capitalism have extracted our capacities for labor and living—including sleep, intimacy, and emotion. With witty and poetic framing, her work calls attention to those parts of our lives, desires, and embodiments that remain radically unruly, untranslatable, and uncomputable.
