Phoebe Campion is an arts writer, editor, researcher and programmer from London, interested in the ethical and eco-political aspects of landscape and land-work and its representation in literature, film and visual culture. Her writing explores ecologies, extractive industries, feminisms and colonial-capitalist-climate relations, often with a focus on artists’ moving image, experimental documentary and global land cinema. Her projects have spanned reviews, festival coverage, critical and companion essays, exhibition copy, introductions and interviews. She is a staff writer for Another Gaze journal, is published elsewhere in MAP Magazine, LUX, etc., and collaborates regularly with artists and filmmakers on curatorial and text-based projects. Phoebe currently sits on the programming panel for the SET Film Festival, Peckham, London.
Phoebe is currently an AHRC-funded doctoral candidate at the University of Cambridge, where she researches experimental British ecopoetics, literary form and landscapes of ecological exhaustion. Her thesis, ‘Not Infinite Enough’: Experimental British Ecopoetics, Industrial Ecology & Scarcity, 1969-present’ examines responses to sites of ecological extractivism (monocultural fields, plantation forests, desertified pasturelands) in the work of formally innovative ecopoets and site-specific artists.
