Julia Carolin Kothe’s artistic work moves between different media, materials and collaborative formats - at the crossroads of sculpture, text, sound, choreography and performance.The sculptural installations negotiate the (im-) possibilities of communication between (digital and physical) objects, spaces and bodies. Her practice evolves in non-linear acts or chapters based on narratives combining fiction and theory that respond to particular conditions of spaces and the bodies within it. The processual nature of her practice breaks away from the notion of a singular, finished work. Instead, her work offers the spectator a spatial, atmospheric, physical and psychological experience, casting an unforeseen light on particular environments and contexts.
