Alexa Wright

Alexa Wright works across a wide range of media, including photography, video, interactive installation and book-works. She has often worked in collaboration with medical scientists, eg: with Alf Linney, Professor of Medical Physics at UCL (1999-2010); and an interdisciplinary research team in Toronto, Canada exploring the emotional and psychological effects of heart transplant (2007-20). Whilst many of her previous projects have involved people with mental or physical health issues, or difficult life circumstances, her interest has recently shifted towards an exploration of our relationship with the natural world. During residencies in rural Italy (2024) and Finland (2025), Alexa began collaborations with non-human inhabitants of the rural landscape and started new video work exploring “eco-hauntology".

 

Alexa's work has been widely shown internationally in festivals such as: Kochi Biennale, India; FILE, SESI Art Gallery, Sao Paolo, Brazil; DaDaFest International, Liverpool, International Women Artists’ Biennale, Incheon, Korea and Athens Photo Festival. Inside Stories, a series of 11 short video diptychs, co-created with participants in 3 UK prisons, was first shown at Saatchi Gallery, London, 2023.
