Yuli Serfaty is a south-London based multimedia artist concerned with storytelling and worldbuilding. They work in textual, sonic, filmic and physical forms to convey geopolitical, critical narratives, and use a rhizome of field recordings, synthesised sounds, video, photography, writing, CGI, game engines and found objects. They are driven by the tension between masculinity, femininity, violence, fear, slow power, the erotic, sexual, mythological, subterranean, the rotten and the rotting, and inspired by the powers of the world to regenerate from dark, moist humus.

Serfaty’s works tell non-linear stories while decentering humanity; the landscape protagonists bear physical witness to the lives of animals, plants, water, people, and political systems alike. Field research, as well as academic writing and speculative fiction, inform the work; subjects of interest include the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, the military-industrial complex, queer theory, sci-fi, ecology and postcolonial studies. Serfaty particularly looks at how military presence changes natural landscapes, and how governmental bodies weaponise natural elements to displace, annex, and control land.
