“Brianna Tadeo is a visual artist whose work focuses on using photographic materials to show the effects of time, mortality, and the decay of the human body — exploring ways of using traditional analog photographic materials to show a visual representation of decaying organisms. How the malodorous compounds and volatile acids that would support new life can create evidence on the photographic paper; what are the results of something fading while being created? Vestiges of a larger idea that the biology of living materials are ever-changing, dynamic, and utterly beautiful no matter what state of life or death they are in.”
