In the exhibition Julia Beliaeva balances gracefully between virtuality, physicality and fragility.

In her digitally generated sculptures and videos, she fuses past and present – especially of her hometown Kiev.

With the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Julia Beliaeva fled to Austria and became part of the residency program of the OÖLKG and the Academy of Ceramics Gmunden. In the course of her residency, she created the installation “Social Meditation” and her most monumental work to date, “Fragile City,” at Gmunden Ceramics. The objects, which initially appear to be tiled stoves, are reminiscent of bombed-out, burned-out houses in Kiev and tell of war and flight in the figurative frieze.

Curator: Genoveva Rückert
