Julia Moon (b. 2002, South Korea) explores the contemporary displacement of objects and the unstable boundaries of their categorization along the lines of familiarity and obscurity, objectivism and subjectivism, and reconsideration and reformation. Influenced by her peripatetic existence, born in South Korea, raised in Canada, and receiving her BFA at the Ruskin School of Art, Julia has recently moved between Seoul and London. Her practice is shaped by this constant movement, which informs her perspective and fosters an insatiable desire for new experiences.
Julia’s practice engages with the physical and metaphorical malleability of space, exploring how bodies negotiate and redefine their positions within it. She transforms objects into unfamiliar states where space and body converge, their boundaries becoming fluid and shifting under pressure. Through material processes of construction, deconstruction, and reconstruction, she captures the liminal state of transformation, tracing how human forms shift, dissolve, and reconstitute themselves. Her work opens an enquiry into the unseen yet unfading essence of existence, redefining the boundaries and trajectories of what enables an object to remain itself even through change.
