Julia Feyrer (born 1982) is a Canadian visual artist, performer, and writer based in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Their photographic work can be described as continuing to challenge "alchemical transformations of the daguerreotype" of staged settings recorded as historical documents.
[7] Their film, Dailies (2012), documents the production of clocks, which are described as being, "each ‘alive’ yet paralyzed in their moment, performing a durational yet non-progressive trick precariously and nervously.
[1] It consisted of a 9-minute film based on an installation that recreated a late 19th century Vancouver bar on the 300-block of West Cordova Street.
[13] Their exhibition at the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery was described as being able to "plunge us into a world of dreams"[12] such as the ones we unconsciously experience during our sleep.
[12] Their collaborative art practice layers a myriad of references to film and literature while simultaneously expressing an interest in the symbolic significance of the materials they use.
