Forrest Beasley-Birch (b. 1995) is an emergeng artist practicing in Naarm | Melbourne, Australia.

Beasley-Birch draws from a photographic lineage, interlacing still and moving imagery in immersive works where sense unsteadies—where alterity emerges through the collapse of familiar structures, and hyperreality distorts the boundaries between representation and presence. His practice inhabits the confluence between organic and synthetic realms, when ecologies are reconstituted through systems of transformation and abstraction.

His works transfigure the ecological and the technological, unfolding as an emergent synthesis of the artificial and biological. Through an immersive fieldwork-based practice, he traverses an interstitial passage between permanence and transience, parasitism and symbiosis, physicality and virtuality, embryonic and evolved. This approach does not merely refract interstitia but enacts them—unfolding as flickering realities, spectral remnants, virtualised fossils, or luminous fractures of a shifting topology.

Blending technological sensing with a deep sensitivity to ecological systems, Beasley-Birch’s works invite audiences to engage with the unseen and often intangible forces that shape the ecologies we inhabit. The works do not document or replicate but exist as speculative terrains, where perception itself is rendered mutable—always in flux, always becoming.

Beasley-Birch is a graduate of the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne Bachelor of Fine Arts (Honours) 2024 and Photography Studies College, Bachelor of Photography (Fine Art), 2021.
