Julia Weißenberg
Julia Weißenberg deals with the new media in a very unique and original way to investigate socio-political and scientific topics of the present day, as well as connections between reality and fiction, identity and globalization, past and future. Her fundamental interest lies in the phenomenon of fictionalization in our (everyday) perception of reality. Weißenbergs range of topics is as diverse as her artistic practice: “I’m generally interested in exploring various media in the context of the topic I’m working on. I think these different works and materials can complement each other, but they can also exist on their own and independently.“
