01 / Selected work

Different forms.
One field of attention.

Film, writing, cartography, and theatre are not separate rooms here. Each is a way of noticing how people, places, and objects alter one another.

Attention is a form
of fieldwork.

Paige C. T. Croucher is an interdisciplinary artist, filmmaker, writer, and theatre practitioner based in Edmonton, Alberta.

Her work follows ordinary life closely: the paths people make, the objects they leave behind, the infrastructure that quietly organizes a day, and the relationships that become visible when different forms of attention meet.

Available for creative collaboration, film and theatre work, writing, documentation, and selected commissions.
