With a background in ethnography, film studies, constitutional law and documentary-essayistic video practice Flavia is researching, teaching and publishing on border issues, ecologies, new materialism, non-linear presentation formats and on methods and procedures. Transdisciplinary collaborations at the intersection of artistic-scientific practice are characteristic for her work, as in her research projects RhyCycling and Times of Waste.

Her artistic activities include documentary and essayistic video works and installations for international festivals and exhibitions, which led her to residencies and study visits in Australia, China, Laos, Mali, and to different countries of the Americas and Europe.

She worked for many years at the Zurich University of the Arts and other universities, since 2007 as PI/senior researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Experimental Design and Media Cultures/Critical Media Lab (IXDM/CML), currently co-heading the CML and Head of Continuing Education IXDM.
