Angelita Biscotti

Angelita Biscotti is a contemporary artist working with photography, poetry, performance and sound design to explore the tension between motion and stillness, the intimacy between past and present, and how transformation is always possible no matter how frozen-in-place dominant ideologies seem. Angelita's electronic score for Ebony Rattle's globally touring "Winona" has been favorably compared to Portishead and the Twin Peaks soundtrack. In 2024 Angelita's "SORRY IM JUST A BASIC HYSTERIC!!!!!!!! a love & farewell letter to the clyde hotel on cardigan" (Cordite 109) was shortlisted for the prestigious Woollahra Digital Literary Award (Poetry). Angelita is currently a PhD candidate in Creative Arts and English at La Trobe University.
