Sannit is currently working on a series of environmental insertions and community-based performances inspired by 19th century biologist Jakob von Uexküll’s concept of "Umwelt, a description of the phenomenological world which an organism inhabits. Sannit’s site-responsive multimedia sculptural installations allow for expanded perception of nature. She received her MFA from California College of Arts.
