Julia Bornefeld

Inter-continental
[...] Through this work, the artist seems once again
to reflect on the emotional and physical intensity
that the simple roll of a ball can generate.
Football is movement, passion, competition, entertainment. It is an expression of vitality, joy, tension, exultation and concentration, but also
of aggression.

DIN A4 War Games
[...] Aeroplanes, flying as light as paper yet strong
as steel. They are all different, tapered to slice through the air and the folds of fantasy, detached from technology and moulded by the imagination.
On the wing of one of the six, it reads:
DIN A4 War Games
. A title that sums up the full value and ambiguity of this work.

Corpo a noleggio
[...] This is what led to Corpo a noleggio,
a performance held on a spring evening
in front of Castello di San Giorgio, Mantua.
A fleeting glance, an old Renault 5 parked
in the middle of the road, and, surprisingly, an Alsatian dog, sitting happily on the roof of the car.
An entirely surreal vision, the kind of comic, visionary, Fellini-style balancing act that could
not fail to fascinate Julia Bornefeld, an artist able
to grasp the element of extraordinary that lies beneath the everyday.
