Description
“The haunting worlds of Julia Soboleva return.
In this second massive volume, the artist delves even deeper into the fragile frontier between beauty and decay. Using her signature mix of collage, painting, and found photography, Soboleva constructs unsettling visual narratives—portraits of disquiet, tenderness, and trauma.
Here, the ghosts of memory take new forms. Fragments of forgotten faces, traces of family stories, and silent echoes of the post-Soviet landscape intertwine with surreal and absurd humour. The result is a hypnotic dialogue between innocence and corruption, violence and grace.
Since the publication of her first monograph, Julia Soboleva has continued to assert herself as one of the most compelling voices of her generation—an artist who transforms personal wounds into timeless icons of vulnerability and strength.”
