Julia Larberg - Photographer

Julia Larberg - Photographer Fine art photographer based in upstate New York and eastern Kansas. Larberg approaches these concepts through the lens of humor and the mundane.

Stemming from her background in philosophy, spiritual practices, and interest in complex interpersonal relationships, Julia Larberg’s work engages with the ways internal dialog and individual orientation appear in the visual realm. Propelled by questions surrounding the Self and the ego, her work
investigates relationships to time and location, as well as what affects that ability to anchor. Proje

cts such as Heaven Forbid We Be Human invite the viewer into a world just slightly askew and strange from the world existing in front of their nose. One might compare it to magical realism in literature but
substituting the weird with magic. Engaging with the Self through play, movement, performance, and existential dread, her self-portraits from internal performance become evidence of a consistent self-portrait practice from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. homing signal attempt to define the word ‘home’ through strangers Larberg met online via calls for participants. Her conversations and following photographic sessions became a sort of performance as well, one where the photographs became evidence of the space she held to hear their stories and present them as tenderly as possible. Her continued work making photographs of her family, friends, and hiking routes become a meditation to be practiced between project-oriented work. This balance between mundane and performance invites questions surrounding how performance is defined when applied to the ways one
moves around through life. Her process is exploratory - she uses gifs, video, audio, performance, digital manipulation, color, and others to excavate the meaning of the photographs, or lack thereof. While formally composed, Larberg utilizes the mundane, play, humor, and experimentation to explore the ways the internal self can be visually represented in the 2D plane.

On Sunday, a 10 to 14 year old male humpback whale was pulled ashore near 25th Street on the Virginia Beach Oceanfront. Most likely cause of death was a sudden hit by a boat or ship. The necropsy was performed today.

I was in awe of how many people came to see this whale, and how many people were taking selfies in front of it or on some sort of live social media streaming. The person holding their baby was walking away from taking a smiling family photo a minute earlier.

I am in the middle of reading ‘How Far the Light Reaches: A Life in Ten Sea Creatures’ by Sabrina Imbler. They write about Talequah, a killer whale off the coast of Seattle, WA, in the chapter titled ‘How to Draw a S***m Whale’: “She carried him this way for six days, continuously nudging him away from sinking until he no longer looked like a sleeping calf but a dead one, rigid animal form melting away. Eventually the other killer whales in her pod took turns keeping the dead baby afloat, nosing its body around like a beach volleyball. Tahlequah carried the calf for seventeen days, watching what she loved become unrecognizable to her but seeing no other choice but to continue.”
