Dr Polly Stanton is an artist and filmmaker. Her films and installations focus on contested sites and extractive zones, presenting landscape as a politically charged field of negotiation, entangled with history, technology and capital.

For her fellowship, Polly documented and recorded the unique rhythms and dynamics of Antarctica’s remote landscapes and settlements through sound and the moving image. She will create a new large-scale audiovisual work and accompanying publication.

Polly travelled to Casey station in November 2025.
