Lot Report

Provenance:

Courtesy of the artist

Note:

Julia Campisi’s studio practice explores the dynamics that sustain our society through the portrayal of industrial motifs and tools encountered in her daily life. She creates stand-ins for these “things” using self-taught, arduous, and experimental molding and casting techniques. With a background in photography, Campisi employs the image to shape the theoretical framework of her practice. Her primary materials are resin and acrylic, as the translucency acts as a lens and like photographs, she is not interested in maintaining reality but in generating a fantasy where assumptions, absurdity, and artifice are front and center.

This sculpture is part of a larger body of work that was exhibited at NAMARA Projects, where Campisi created objects that go beyond utility and instead embody the very labour of looking, while compelling an intimate engagement with ideas around perception, visibility, and the effort required to discover underlying systems of value and social constructs.
