paula roush
Portugal
An artist, editor, and researcher whose practice explores the intersection of experimental photography, editorial practices, and more-than-human ecologies. She is the founder of the platform msdm — mobile strategies of display and mediation, where she develops research methodologies combining photosensitive processes, textile printing, urban archives, artificial intelligence, and artist publications as research ecologies. Her recent work focuses on post-industrial landscapes and the relationship between ruin, vegetal regeneration, and image-making through walking practices, the collection of spontaneous plants, and solar processes such as cyanotype and phytograms. In parallel, she investigates generative protocols using artificial intelligence trained on industrial and botanical archives. Her book and installation Um Olho Verde, Outro Azul: Herbário do Antropoceno (MIRA Galerias, Porto, 2025), bring together these methodologies. Her work has been presented internationally at institutions including Water Museum Lisbon, Borough Road Gallery London, Isabel Bader Centre Kingston, MIRA Galerias Porto, and Form Design Center Malmö.
