Julia Bardsley

Julia Bardsley is an artist working with the interplay of performance, pinhole photography, video projection, sculptural objects, psychological garments and hybrid personae. Works include: The Divine Trilogy: Trans-Acts, Almost The Same (feral rehearsals for violent acts of culture) and Aftermaths: a tear in the meat of vision (London, Glasgow, Portugal, Spain, Slovenia, Croatia, Belgium, Italy); meta-FAMILY (Brazil, UK, Belgium, Slovenia) and Medea:darkmatterevents (Brazil & UK).

Under the creative umbrella The House of Wonder & Panic, she developed a series of durational process events entitled, Reading Rooms. These pieces have repurposed a political, a philosophical and an entomological text. The third of the series, An Apian Paradox, conjures an apicultural BJ hive party, that offers an ecology of creativity, pleasure and female bee-ing (London, Lisbon, Birmingham).

Her current phase of exploration comes under the title: The Abyss System. The first in the series, Elliptical Abyss Ellipses #3… was presented in 2024 and the third, M[eye] Abyss [i]DEA #1. in 2025. The second part, Apis Abyss Anomaly #2: is in development.
