Shared Habitat is the shared artistic and research practice of Dr Eila Goldhahn and Stuart J. Young. It brings together our individual practices of installation, photography, sculpture, movement, writing, and embodied research.

Our work explores how embodied perception and place shape the ways we inhabit and relate to the world. Through site-responsive projects, exhibitions, publications, and artistic research, we investigate how physical forms become psychological, social, and ecological metaphors, revealing the subtle relationships between bodies, environments, and collective experience.

Shared Habitat is both an artistic practice and a space for collaborative inquiry, where making and research evolve through observation and lived experience.

Alongside our artistic practice, the website presents Eila Goldhahn's written publications and her ongoing development of MoverWitness, a relational method of embodied observation, and its applications in interdisciplinary inquiry.
