Dora Fiammetta Perini (NYC, 1995) is an Italian multidisciplinary artist working between Venice and London. She attended the Istituto Italiano di Fotografia in Milan in 2018, and went on to earn her Bachelor's degree in Fine Art from Central Saint Martins in 2022, where she was nominated for the Fine Art Nova Award. In 2023, she completed her Master's degree in Contemporary Art Practice at the Royal College of Arts.
Dora is interested in the secretive and emotional behaviours related to eating and embodiment; her poli-disciplinary process is fixated on food, the body and the abject, from which she expands her research, observing the inter relationship between extreme opposites such as excess and control, health and sickness, love and fear. She explores feeding practices and tablescapes, speculating on the potentiality of digestion as mutation. She gathers symbols through photography, juxtaposing her images to her sculptures. Her practice often culminates in site-specific installations with aspects of relational aesthetics, occasionally featuring live or recorded performance. She previously showcased her work in Milan through MIART week in 2021 and with Hypha Studios in London in 2023.
