DEAD BREAKFAST Juliette Miller Herrera Nickle & Leon Alesi
Dead Breakfast requests a brief surrender.
A FAST BREAK before we are DEAD.
Working across installation, manipulated photography, collage, painting, performance, and found materials, the exhibition navigates the fragile act of sharing space. Each artist maintains their individual practice and aesthetic, allowing moments of convergence and tension to emerge organically. The result is both contained and sprawling: a collaged environment that challenges perception and embraces grit. A place where textures echo like ancestral gestures, language shifts form and silence becomes whole.
Dead Breakfast is discovery and dialogue while responding to modifications of our neighborhood, social structure, and the spaces we inhabit. Our collected experience, both intimate and unsettled.
