Sarah Cameron Sunde is an American, New York based interdisciplinary environmental artist. For the first 10 year of her career (1999-2010), she identified primarily as a theater maker and director, and was known internationally as the American-English translator and director of Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse's works. Though she continued theater making/directing through 2017, In 2010, her work shifted primarily to that of a time-based visual artist working at the intersection of public, performance, and video art, which she continues today. At this intersection, Sunde works site-specifically with duration and scale to examine the human relationship to deep time, the more-than-human world, and the environment.
Her most notable work to date is 36.5 / A Durational Performance with the Sea, a public, video, and performance artwork made in collaboration with water and communities across the world. 36.5 was made over nine years and across six continents (2013-2022). The durational video work created from these performances will continue to be worked with, explored, and exhibited through the foreseeable future.
