Work edit
In 2021, Pettus was selected by Highline Arts to participate in Unfinished Live[5], a conference and exhibition organized by Hans Ulrich Obrist and András Szántó at The Shed[6] in New York, HeK[7] in Basel, and PÎVO[8] in São Paulo. She was commissioned to make the piece, (Zero, Zero), on the topic of the increasingly decentralized technological landscape post-2020.
Pettus began collaborating with video and performance artist Keren Cytter that same year, on the short film Bad Words[9]. In 2023, Cytter and Pettus began working on The Wrong Movie[10], which premiered at the 2024 Berlinale Forum. Written and directed by Cytter, produced by Pettus[11], and shot by Alex Huggins, The Wrong Movie was called "one of the 2024 Berlinale's great unsung films"[12] by Artforum. The film also received praise from Document Journal[13], among others. Cytter and Pettus' collaboration is ongoing.
In 2024, Pettus was awarded a grant from the Vanguard Charitable Foundation to produce her first theatrical work: 4,000 Dollars, which follows one woman as she spends all of her money in one day. The play is set to premiere at KAJE World on June 7, 2024.
