2016

About the Item

'The Trick is to keep Breathing’, 2017, 10x20 inches, edition 1/10, Metal Print, high gloss, based on a Mixed Media Polaroid diptych. Signature label with Certificate. Exhibition: Instant Dreams at the Saatchi’s The Other Art Fair LA, March, 2019, Bombay Beach Biennale March, in the permanent collection of the newly founded Polaroid Museum 2019 both curated by Stefanie Schneider. “The Trick Is To Keep Breathing” Created as a contribution for the theme “(To) Breathe” as part of the 12:12 Project, Julia created a Polaroid diptych with added elements like a feather and stars, inspired by the song of the same name of indie band Garbage.

 Artist Statement “Since my childhood days I always loved taking photos, but for unknown reasons instant film never really caught my attention. After I saw the works of a friend who happened to be a gifted Polaroid photographer, I was totally mesmerized and the desire to shoot with instant film constantly grew in me. But for as long as I can think music has always been my main preoccupation. I somehow always feel the need to create, but my focus shifted more and more from making music to instant photography and it grew into something much more fulfilling and pure. Sometimes, these two passions even come together when I am able to provide my photos for album artworks – this makes me incredibly happy. As I always have been very introverted and reclusive I often drift off into my own inner world. The dreamlike landscapes and surreal atmospheres in my work are the visualization and the result of these imaginations. Another influence on my photography is my essential need to travel the world. But I am not interested in documenting the places I see like they are but rather love to create otherworldly scenes by adding the dreamlike texture of instant film, serving me as a needful escape from reality.”
