As part of the artist collective ClaudeHilde, Julia Thurnau is active as artist, photographer and author. Coming from a multi-cultural family, she speaks french, English and Spanish as well as German. Meshing medial presentation, ClaudeHildes work is questioning proposals and schemes of identity and the economic system in the western world. Identity is reflected as socio-cultural and political category. Thematically, ClaudeHildes work combines existing social debates on normativity, self-determination and the performance of genderidentities.
Currently Julia is investigating the movement of love, completing two double sculptures: The racer & Landing (Cast in bronze) for the collectors Katja Roeder-Breinersdorfer and Fred Breinersdorfer.
