Julia Flux

Born 1986, lives and works in Berlin and Andalusia Spain

At the intersection of performance, dance, environmental science, contemporary spirituality, Flux’s artistic work is deeply informed by ancient knowledge and speculative futures - exploring the interconnectedness and friction between humans and nature. To weave connections of these space-time-matters she works often in remote locations -such as deserts and mining sites - where she reveals and actively transforms underlying myths.

Flux’s work challenges the blurred lines between human, animal, plant and machine, critically reflecting on growth and evolution paradigms. In her central work as a dancer and ecologist, her practice spans film, landart and performance, often incorporating experimental sculptural elements. By combining natural elements with unconventional materials, she critiques industrialization and commodification while advocating for community and sustainability.

Flux collaborates with scientists, ecologists, and other artists to create media that are often inherently political, questioning the cultural conditioning of our senses and perceptions, constantly highlighting the body and nature as a vessel for transformational processes. Her installations and performances activate vivid and raw fictional scenarios that provoke incisive questions about human culture and world building exampled in her recent work TERRA/// - a landart dance and movement performance piece which embraces the concept of an animated and vibrant world where every form of matter is alive, delving into the deep relationships between human beings and the living world around them.

She is the founder of MOJOSTUDIOS, an inclusive gallery that empowers marginalized voices, and the creator of CADAVRE EXQUIS, a project that tackles eco-justice and spirituality. Her work also delves into post-natural, queer, and spiritual ecologies, alchemy, and mythology, with the aim of rewilding our collective myths and expanding our understanding of spacetime. Dedicated to reimagine a more-than-human peaceful trans-planetary coexistance she co-created the art project CURRENT FUTURES.

Challeging the growth-paradigma she questioned the status quo in her co-authorship in the book "Economy without Growth?!", accomplished her Degree in the Dance Intense Program of the Berlin Dance Institute 2022, exhibited during CTM Berlin in Funkhaus Berlin and researched lately, among many other deserts, in the Atacama desert Chile.
