JULIA BOIX-VIVES
"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."
