About this user

Julia Boix-Vives studied at the Grenoble Art School (France) and at the Düsseldorf Art Academy (Germany) with sculptor Tony Cragg.
Regular practice of dancing and of Kinomichi (a Japanese art of movement) has strongly influenced her plastic work. She is now working in video art and performance.
She places her body within natural elements, and industrial debries, or in the mountains. When alone in front of her camera, placed on a tripod, she manipulates various common objects in the empty space of the studio.
Julia Boix-Vives also performs in the city, in the subway, between people.
Expressions, behaviors often humorous are born from those contacts with matter.
The choice of specific music, images that are almost textural, and her sometimes organic editing , are elements that contribute to make her videos an extension of her first activity : sculpting.
The use of special effects and 3D has recently widened her vision of the world by giving it an aspect that is every time more weird.

"My work as an artist is intimately linked to very personal sources popping up from my unconscious, my dreams, my wanderings ...
I use my body, my expressions, my attitude as a raw material for my performances and my videos. With a camera shot focused on my movements, the images follow one another in a minimal and obsessional way.
I take part in a strangely absorbed exercise by my physical relationship with an object. This work is somehow an extension of my past as a sculptor.
Dropping the object in its primary function, I let myself being surprised, I explore intuitively in the felt, in the energy, while building a quasi-sexual choreography of the handling.
At the time of the montage I am using very simple special effects. My tricks are tipping out almost insignificant actions in a new place, dream-like, even surreal.
In my artwork, my poetic and fanciful gestures can take an exaggerated dimension, sometimes kitsch, in a way of humorous distancing .
I grew up in the pictorial world of my grandfather naive art painter: Anselme Boix-Vives. At home, there were drawings of his characters and fantastically naive animals, in landscapes of plants extremely colourful, sometimes oppressive.
This is my legacy.
I think I am sharing with my grandfather his vision of a "simple universal". Naturally approached, the act of creation, while remaining raw, affects us all, head-on."
