Craig Campbell is assistant professor in Folklore & Public Culture in the department of Anthropology at the University of Texas at Austin. He has developed a hybrid practice in contemporary art and cultural studies that he calls intermedia ethnography. He brings a host of strategies borrowed from the visual arts to his long-term research on travel, mobility, archive, memory, and culture in the Siberian subarctic. His research and visual experiments explore the possibility for failed, defaced, degraded, manipulated, and damaged photographs to activate interpretive fields typically unacknowledged in conventional ethnographies and histories. Craig is actively developing his work through curatorial and installation practices, seeking new imbrications of affect and intellectual engagement.
