Expo - Julia Beliaeva : White Shadows

Show & Culture

Mythology, new technologies, and porcelain: a mix as surprising as it is fascinating. Julia Beliaeva explores, through her porcelain sculptures, digital works, and installations, human fragility as well as the dialogue between tradition and modernity. She incorporates advanced technologies such as digitization, modeling, and 3D printing, as well as virtual reality, into her creations, thereby renewing artistic practices in a perpetually changing world. By using porcelain, she reflects on cultural heritage and lost know-how, notably those of the once prosperous Ukrainian ceramic industry. She also transforms mythological figures into poignant representations of suffering and resistance, questioning how myths and folk tales reflect contemporary struggles.
