Brea Souders is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY, whose work bridges studio-based practices and observational photography. She combines photographs, text, painting, and other materials to make work about authenticity, belonging, and otherness within technological landscapes. Many of her projects rely on time and sunlight, not just as tools but as active forces in the creation of her work. Blending conceptual inquiry with records of both online and offline spaces, Souders creates pieces that reflect a mediated and ever-transforming world. While she values control in her images, she also embraces chance 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).
