Mayte Breed
Trained as a biologist, I consciously and precisely examine my surroundings through the photographic medium. Small encounters become part of a larger ecosystem of images, allowing an interplay of associations to form.

Drawing on a background in Biology, Mayte Breed (1997, Netherlands) approaches photography as her research method of the everyday. Consistent observation and natural curiosity allow Breed to dissect the unnoticed. Through the medium of photography, she focuses on human interactions with their environment like artificial representations in urban settings, encounters with plants and animals, and glimpses through humid windows. This results in images with a sense of ease. By careful pairings and different media - photography, moving images, installations, and bookmaking - she combines moments in time from a world that others only occasionally notice.
