About
Julia Cremers’ performance art practice explores new forms of embodiment, intimacy and ways of sensing in our increasingly digitized reality.
With the help of spatial storytelling methods, Julia addresses human-instrument hybridization. Their interest in the merging of “body” and “instrument” stems from concerns regarding digital surveillance, as well as their own reliance on technologies such as their inner-ear prosthesis for hearing.
In 2021 and 2022 Julia was active in the sound art space Errant Sound. Julia currently co-organises the art/science collective PARALLAX Lab and is active for the Hebbel am Ufer Theater in Berlin.
