SARAH CAMERON SUNDE is an interdisciplinary artist, director, and translator working at the intersection of performance, video, conceptual, and public art. She is internationally known as Jon Fosse’s primary American-English theater translator and director, having translated/directed his U.S. debut production in 2004 and four subsequent U.S. premiere productions over the next ten years in New York City and Pittsburgh: NIGHT SINGS ITS SONGS, DEATHVARIATIONS, SA KA LA, A SUMMER DAY, DREAM OF AUTUMN. Sunde co-founded Oslo Elsewhere with Anna Gutto and the Translation Think Tank with Marie-Louise Miller in 2004, specifically to introduce Jon Fosse’s work to American audiences and to advocate for American-English translations. In her current practice, Sunde investigates scale and duration in relation to the human body, water, ecological crisis and deep time. She was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2021 to complete her series of nine performances and video artworks made on six continents: 36.5 / A DURATIONAL PERFORMANCE WITH THE SEA (2013 – 2022 and ongoing). She was Deputy Artistic Director of New Georges for 16 years (2001-2017), co-founded Works on Water (2017-present), and is currently a NYSCA / NYFA Fellow and a Cultural Leader with the World Economic Forum.
