Cameos, lace, feathers, fur. Julia Morlot’s work is born from a desire to revalue and redirect ancient creative techniques and objects taken from popular folklore. The slow and complex transformation of raw material produces sculptures and installations with a strong narrative dimension. They often echo the specific history of a place, reenacting collective memory. Bodies figure prominently in her work, whether animal, human, vegetable, hybrid and organic, in relief or in hollow, often captured in a movement oscillating between appearance and disappearance. Julia Morlot’s universe is seductive yet worrying. Text by Florence Andoka
