Annie Simpson is an artist and DDes candidate at the Harvard GSD. She works via sight-/site-based investigation to make videos, photographs, and essays. Her dissertation assesses ‘the planetary’ in spatial research through the unique, if curiously unaddressed, aesthetic opportunities provided by it. These openings offer a way to unsettle the dominant visual paradigm of planetary urbanization through essay and film across diverse subjects of the ecological uncanny in Georgia: feral dogs, pine plantations, river snakes, military installations, (the list goes on). Simpson’s practice grounds itself in the Southeastern United States and considers how the region plays a vital role in exporting land and labor relations and material practices globally, vis-a-vis the logics of the plantation. Methodologically, she works by getting lost alongside canine companion-collaborator, Boudreaux. Simpson’s work has been exhibited internationally and she regularly publishes enviro-spatial criticism and exhibition reviews. In her free time, she builds canoes & rides horses.
