Pheobe riley Law

Pheobe riley Law is an installation artist working across sound, performance, sculpture, photography, and moving image. She creates dialogues between bodies, borders, and devices to reveal new forms of relation. She is particularly interested in non-human actors, inanimate objects, and how human activity is shaped by systems of boundary-creation. Through playful inversions, she highlights the object-hood of humanity and the agency of the “inanimate”. Her latest performance installation, Vegetal Empathy, is a speculative simulation of the garden, exploring our entanglement with more-than-human entities through data, micro-listening and acts of tending.

Ongoing and previous projects include Vegetal Empathy (supported by the Sound Generator award 2024-25); curator for Let Us Cook (Concertgebouw Brugge); vast, slender boundaries (Rainy Days Festival, Luxembourg); residency with Simultan/Semi-Silent/Sonic Narratives (Timișoara). The Sound of Food, Kupfer Project (London); cam.bi.um (flora) with Gaia Blandina, Hull Jazz Festival; dep.can.gre.sou with Abbas Zahedi at RCA, Moss Listening (Sonic Acts). Residency at Fabrica; installations at Humber Street Gallery; Spikersuppa Gallery (Oslo); and Cove Park (Scotland). She has shown work at The Baltic, Hatton Gallery, in Denmark, Italy, Germany, Sweden, and Japan. Pheobe has performed on BBC Radio 3, sour bay at Matsudo Science Art Festival, Ftarri & Permian (Japan), Fort Process etc.
