The Russian born artist Julia Winter chooses the title ‘PresentpasT’ for her exhibition in Beijing. It refers to the way she deals with several realities that she combines at the same time in her work. Sometimes she uses old photographs that are covered with objects or other layers of images of our time by which new realities are visualized. It might also have to do with the fact that in Russian daily life many realities coexist at the same time. It is as well a way of visualizing our actual dealing with a load of information that has to be filtered and rearranged in order to understand or to question a certain kind of truth. In her installations, paintings, photographic assemblages and performances the content might vary from political issues to subjects that portray persons or cityscapes or it deals with censored contents in visual or written information. In the way she reconstructs our world in a new or modern reality she evokes poetic meanings that seduce us to interpret and to rearrange our own vision in life. The exhibition ‘PresentpasT ’parallels with the exhibition ‘Made in Russia - Nine Contemporary Russian Artists' that OTHER GALLERY | Shanghai Space has organized.
