The work of Julia Creuheras unfolds as kinetic artefacts which allude to uncanny and dusty relics that treasure uncertainty. They are active dismantlers of the hidden forces that move the ordinary, machines that attempt to envelop time in a circular form through the absolute repetition of movement. (tic-tac-tacón).

Julia’s artistic research addresses Quantumn Mechanics and its role in breaking and ironically perpetuating the status quo. She weaves fabrics and clothes not only to allegorise the Theory of Strings, but to draw close to bodies. This theory states that at a subatomic level, what we call particles are actually vibrational states, similar to vibrating filaments. It comes to explain that reality is constituted by interwoven vibrating strings. Therefore, weaved fabric in her work allegorises the interwoven texture of reality to shape an dreamlike Quantumn body. A body whose threads are spun by pop culture’s nostalgia.

As she ‘dérives’ the streets of her city, Barcelona, she sees a big geared set that squeak and also fit together. Repetitive movements in a hypnotic cadence. Invisible strings that pull and let go that contract and unfold in many ways, moving the world of the ordinary. These strings are forces of power, desire, and physicality. They are the fuel of a big machine so called the city. (holy motors-blurry city lights).

These forces, are a tangled linguistic network of micro-stories that move and define matter and its meaning in the mundane, they are not visible to the eye, nor are any of the forces that move and assign bodies in space, such as gravity; but they constitute the raw material itself as one and the same. And the same happens in her Machines. Therefore, the gears and motors responsible for breathing life into them are deliberately hidden and here they are just an echo, a slight sound or a thin string that reminds us that behind all that magic there is always a trick, and that behind each one of them. There are thousands of meanings that activate it for the world.
