Tosca Schift (b. 1995) is a Dutch visual artist whose practice spans video art, film, performance and the construction and deconstruction of objects. Her product design background nurtured an interest in the relation between humans and objects and sparked a moral concern with conditions of possession, agency, objectification and an awareness of what it is to be material. Across her work, the disruption of hierarchy, alienation and the nonhuman experience take a central role. Schift creates dreamlike audiovisual works that examine domestic objects, routines and events: framing what the eye of the camera captures of the world. Often, the montages are a combination of self-captured footage and animations. Here, she blurs the boundaries between the real and the surreal as a gateway to a realm that speaks to the bodily perception. 

As part of the collective ANT EYE, Schift screened and exhibited her work on a variety of international platforms such as: Istanbul Experimental Film Festival, Lehmbruck museum Duisburg, Fashionclash Festival, Go Short international Short Film Festival Nijmegen and The Grey Space in the Middle. Also, Schift has been rewarded with the Stimuleringsfonds Talent Development Grant in 2022.
