Andreas Rutkauskas was born in Winnipeg and currently resides on the unceded traditional territory of the syilx (Okanagan Valley, BC). His projects involve photography and video, often focusing on landscapes that have changed due to surveillance along the Canada-U.S. border; cycles of industrialization and deindustrialization in Canada’s oil patch; and, most recently, wildfires in Western Canada. Rutkauskas was a finalist for the Gabriele Basilico International Prize in Architecture and Landscape (2016), a Research Fellow with the Canadian Photography Institute (2018), and the inaugural recipient of a residency with the Fondation Grantham pour l’art et l’environnement (2020).
