faculty profile

Theodore Lillie
Visiting Faculty
Photography

Exploring shifting paradigms in consciousness and culture, Theodore Lillie and collaborator Tracy Ginsberg create multidisciplinary, interactive, site-specific sculptures and installations. Combining natural and repurposed materials with traditional and new media—including photography, painting, earthwork, video, performance, and sound—Ginsberg-Lillie examine crossroads of ecosystems, technology, and industrial development. Their work underscores the magnitude, fragility, and sacred beauty of the physical world by highlighting iconic images that hold special significance within human experience. Investigating biodiversity, preservation, and species interdependency, their collaborative works immerse viewers in transformational environments. Founded in 2002 and headquartered in West Marin, Fulcrum Projects is Ginsberg-Lillie’s experimental live art company.
