B. Calello
Fall Resident 2020
B. Calello (b. 1988, Boston) is a recent MFA graduate of the SVA’s Photography, Video and Related Media program. Their work focuses on the failures within the social practice of photography to accurately depict a family unit over time.
B. Calello’s most recent project, Performance, Failure, and the Machine Takeover of the Family Album created a multi-format archive re-staging and re-presenting images from three generations of their family archive in consideration of the timeline from Kodak’s point-and-shoot camera, to a short-lived algorithmic camera device developed by Google.
"I will be spending my time at Tiny Birch in a research state, hauling many books along for the trip with the intention of shifting my installation based project into a book of essays. I also hope to walk away with the blueprint for an editioned set of artists books on my favorite subject, The language of photography in Britney Spears."
