Professor Susan Schuppli is a researcher and Director of the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths.
Susan’s fieldwork and documentary film practice is situated at the intersections between environmental struggles, climate science, and affected communities with a specific focus on the cryosphere.
Investigations span legal analysis and public advocacy as well as theoretical reflection and creative exploration in order to understand how the transformations wrought by global burning are generating new forms of evidence. Granting agency to the more-than-human as a material witness informs her attempts at expanding the fields of action and justice. Recent films include: Moving Ice, Signals from Svalbard, Listening to Ice, Gondwana, Arctic Archipelago and Ice Cores. The Cold Cases (2021) investigations on the weaponisation of temperature were produced in collaboration with Forensic Architecture.
Schuppli is the author of Material Witness: Forensics, Media, Evidence published by MIT Press in 2020.
