Rebeca Salvadori

Rebecca Salvadori is an Italian-Australian artist and filmmaker working across moving image, live performance and installation. Over the past fifteen years, she has developed a distinctive body of work at the intersection of contemporary art and experimental music, creating intimate portraits of musicians, clubs and communities that blur the boundaries between documentary, expanded cinema and performance. Rather than treating film as a fixed medium, she approaches it as a way of thinking, developing works that take the form of films, performances, site-specific commissions and expanded moving-image installations.

Selected works include Rave Trilogy (2017–2020), The Sun Has No Shadow (2022), TRESOR TAPES (2022), Messengers(2022–ongoing), A Forbidden Distance (2024– ongoing) and Not Running (2026). Collaboration is central to her practice, and she has worked with artists and musicians including Lucy Railton, Nhu Xuan Hua, Mark Fell, Coby Sey, Okkyung Lee, Saint Abdullah, Eomac, Charlie Hope and Alabaster DePlume.

Her work has been presented at the Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), London; FOMU – Photography Museum Antwerp; Triennale Milano; the Serralves Museum, Porto; and BETA – Timișoara Architecture Biennial, among others, as well as at major experimental music festivals including Sonic Acts Biennial, CTM, Berlin Atonal, Unsound, Rewire, Le Guess Who? and Sónar. In 2025, she received an Italian Council grant from the Italian Ministry of Culture to develop and produce her first feature-length film internationally.
