Research interests
Christopher Fischlein’s research investigates how non-biodegradable chemicals infiltrate human and ecological systems and shape embodied experience. His practice develops visual and collaborative methodologies attentive to imperceptible processes, domestic toxicities, and the thresholds at which chemicals are sensed, navigated, and experienced.
He critically examine regulatory, biomedical, and scientific infrastructures that determine how chemical exposure are recognised to challenge evidentiary systems that marginalise low-dose and cumulative chemical exposures.
