Projects
Katie Bret-Day is a London based artist that uses viscous materiality of photography to explore the contingent and discursive nature of being. With interests in the posthuman and connected ecology her research explores the amalgamation of digital and physical bodies using alternative methods of image capture, interventions and printing.
In 2018 she was presented as one of five rising talents by the Guardian and her work has been included in the Tate commissioned Photography Ideas Book (2019) and acquired by the British Library. She has been nominated for both the ReGeneration³ project and the Foam Paul Huf Award and received Creative Reviews Zeitgeist Award in 2018. She graduated the Royal College of Art in 2020 and also holds a First Class degree from the London College of Communication UAL.
Bret-Day has exhibted environemntal work at the Experimental Photography Festival in Barcelona in 2023 and in collaboration with London Alternative Photography Collective, this work is representative of her evolving discourse that positions itself between arts and sciences, and inquires as to how photography as an expanded practice can present studies, findings, philosophy and research in abstract and alternative forms. Most recently Bret-Day produced work for Proposition Studios Biodiversity Fingerprint. This collaborative visual and academic investigation moves with Proposition as a public art piece that blends art and AI to communicate complex ideas and actions around biodiversity. She currently lectures at Ravensbourne University London.
