Statement 07

Julie Lundsteen Boserup’s art is closely infiltrated with the immediate environment. In her work, she scrutinizes the surrounding urban landscape by insisting on a dialogue with the weird, yet often surprisingly coherent statements of style, preferences and taste she finds there. By a gradual process of drawing, photocopying, cutting up, and redrawing, she tries to isolate and demonstrate the fault line between reality and potentiality—between what is, and what was almost, but not quite, allowed to be. The practise of gradual reinterpretation is an attempt to bring this underlying politics out in the open: Every image becomes a small archive, which document the multitude of stories and choices that we humans ceaselessly fuse into the apparently solid matter of everyday
life.
