Brea Souders is an artist based in Brooklyn, NY. She makes work about images, language, and identity as they move through technological systems and time. Bridging studio-based practices and observational photography, Souders is particularly interested in reintroducing the human body, physicality, and chance into processes that tend to flatten or erase them. Time, light, and weather often function as active forces in her work. While she values control in her images, she also embraces uncertainty and the unknowable, observing that "illumination isn't guaranteed."
She is the author of Another Online Pervert (published by MACK) and Eleven Years (published by Saint Lucy). Souders has exhibited internationally, with solo exhibitions at Baxter St. at CCNY, Bruce Silverstein Gallery and the Abrons Arts Center in New York, as well as at Foam Museum in Amsterdam, Centre Photographique Rouen Normandie in France, and PhMuseum in Bologna. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Artforum, Frieze, i-D, Vogue, The Los Angeles Review of Books, and The New Yorker. Her artist books are part of the library collections at the Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Getty Research Institute, and at Harvard, Princeton, and Stanford. She is the recipient of a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, a National Arts Club Fellowship, and a Baxter St. at CCNY Residency. She currently teaches in the Creative Practices program at the International Center of Photography (ICP).
