Brianna Tadeo
Brianna Tadeo (they/them) is a visual artist whose work explores the poetic possibilities of impermanence through experimental photography. Their hybrid practice blends analog and digital methods, shaped by ongoing engagement with photographic objects, light phenomena, and discarded photographic materials. Grounded in themes of memory, transformation, and decay, Tadeo creates tactile works that reflect on the fleeting nature of experience and the quiet magic of light.
Originally introduced to the darkroom at age 12 in Philadelphia, Tadeo has cultivated their approach over years of material exploration. They hold a BFA from California College of the Arts and an MFA in Studio Arts from the University of New Mexico. They currently live and work in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
