Emanuele Dainotti (b. 1987 in Milano, Italy. Lives and works between Antwerpen, Belgium and Milano, Italy) is a visual artist and filmmaker.

Dainotti's research is focused on the normalization processes of violence and reactions to shocking events. His practice is developed through the creation of implausible but believable visual and narrative structures through video, immersive installations, Virtual Reality and photographs exploring themes such as fear, death, loop, time, and finitude.
