Anna Valeria Borsari (1943) is an artist and researcher. She studied humanities and earned a degree in Literature and Philosophy. While practicing as visual artist, from 1970 to 1995, she taught at University of Bologna. She began to exhibit in the 1970s and worked with several types of media including video and photography.

Since the early 1980s, she made large scale installations and site-specific artworks. A peculiarity of her practice is the ephemerality of her artworks, which survive only in photo documentation or memory. Throughout her practice she has always conducted both artistic and theoretical research.

She has been based in Milan since 2006.
