Brea Souders at Abrons Arts Center
Pause, to Begin photographer Brea Souders is having her first solo show, Time Between, running from September 6 – October 12 at the Abrons Arts Center, Henry Street Settlement, in lower Manhattan.
Time Between is the same project that Pause, to Begin will be featuring in our upcoming book and exhibition.
Here is a little more about Time Between:
In her most recent project, Time Between, Brea Souders interprets superstitions culled from various sources, including old texts, internet forums and word of mouth. Souders’ interest in the way superstitions reflect the human urge for story telling has manifested as its own visual story. She has said of this work, “superstitions act as portals to a childhood sensibility, and can transform an ordinary scene into a mysterious tableau, rich with new meaning.” Her focus on the formative nature of superstitions illuminates a force that is foundational, but elusive. Using both meditated and candid photography, Souders looks to capture the whimsy and tension that superstitions evoke in us, and to illuminate the scope of our collective imaginings.
