Julia Berger

The photographs strung on the wall are engaged in performance: of mourning, savoring, ignoring, and total consumption. Maybe this project is a form of distraction; however, in a time like today, Who’s
Hiring? asks if the confines of growing up are, too, an act of performance. By challenging this in-between feeling of adolescence and adulthood, Berger’s response is an inconclusive answer (more like a question) of not knowing what. What will truly happen if and when the photograph falls to the ground?

Julia Berger (b. 2003) is a New York-based visual artist, graduating this spring from Parsons School of Design with a BFA in Photography. Previous shows include The Art House, Acrylicize, London.
