Uninvited Guests contends with how built environments are constantly in tension with existing, naturally occurring non-human infrastructures embedded underneath the earth’s surface. Included here is a selection of works from an ongoing post-photographic project that relies on the glitch as a productive site of settler colonial disruption. Working across video, AI-generated texts, post-photographic images, and excavated sculpture, these pieces document a site now destroyed as of this application. Contending with legacies of natural habitat displacement in the wake of rapid urban expansion across Phoenix, Arizona’s metropolitan area, this project highlights the impact of luxury housing development in an already precarious landscape – one shaped by an ongoing water crisis in a locale plagued by significant housing instability.
