Garrett Bradley explores how images help shape our view of the world. She is particularly interested in the ways America is represented through visual culture. Spanning narrative, documentary, and experimental forms of filmmaking, the publication Garrett Bradley reflects the artist’s turn towards abstraction and the increasingly sculptural nature of her work. Her work invites us to take a step back and consider the question: what are we actually looking at? In doing so, Bradley makes the viewer aware of the pitfalls of representation and unpacks the mechanisms that influence how we perceive ourselves and others.

With a rich selection of film stills and contributions by Rebecca Matalon (curator Contemporary Arts Museum Houston) and Vincent van Velsen (Head of Exhibitions at Eye), this publication offers not only insight into Bradley’s oeuvre, but also into the mechanisms that shape our perception.
