HEREAFTER

fiIn her assemblages, photomontages and installations Julia Winter creates images that evocatively trigger our personal and collective memory and fantasies. In her proposal for the installation "HEREAFTER" she addresses the fine line between fiction and reality , hope and despair and life and death. Her installation (as in a wider sense art) has no metaphorical limits. Just as Berlioz was inspired by new musical instruments to compose his Symphonie Fantastique, Julia Winter uses many objects (a radio, a clock, a ladder, a lamp) in her installation to refer to sounds, light, higher spheres and feelings of grief, resurrection and the freezing cold.
The installation should be in a complete white space (floor and walls) and without plinths.
The objects (like a radio, a portrait, lamps, a stair, a head, a clock, cups, a cupboard and possible a table all depending on the given space) are placed rather randomly in the gallery room. There is a little noise of the radio. The light comes from the tl-tubes and the selected lamps. Some capsules will be placed surrounding the objects in order to suggest shadows.
