Julia Flux

 lives and works in Berlin and Andalusia Spain

Flux works at the intersection of somatic practices, collective experience, experimental film, land art, and site-specific performance. Rooted in dance, regenerative practices, and environmental science, her work explores the body as a sensual, sensing field in continuous exchange with land, matter, and unseen forces.

Flux’s practice is driven by a long-term inquiry into the invisible, the in-between, and the more-than-human—those subtle spaces where perception, myth, ecology, and matter meet. Influenced by Butoh’s understanding of ma (the interval, the charged void), she works within states of co-sensing, listening, and attunement, often engaging with stones, minerals, animals, solar forces, and landscapes as active collaborators rather than symbolic material. She developed methodologies that combine embodied research, ecological listening, speculative fiction -such as “TALKING WITH STONES” and “SENSUAL ANIMALS WITH SPIRITUAL FLESH” —a way of working that honors material agency, stimulates ecological imagination and a earthbound sensing.

Much of her work unfolds in remote and extractive sites such as deserts, mining areas, and liminal territories, where ecological stress, industrial histories, and ancient knowledge intersect. Through immersive and participatory performances, films, and site-responsive installations, she creates works that dissolve divisions between artist, artwork, and audience, as well as between science, fiction, and myth. These environments invite collective states of resonance and shared presence, cultivating reconnective ways of sensing beyond the human.

Central to Flux’s recent research is the relationship between the human body and solar forces. She explores how sunlight, electromagnetic fields, and solar activity shape bodily perception, communication systems, and cultural imaginaries. Drawing from environmental science, feminist science fiction, and spiritual ecology, her work examines the Sun as both a life-giving and disruptive force—governing biological rhythms while exposing the fragility of technological infrastructures and growth-driven paradigms.

Flux holds a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies, which continues to inform her material choices, site research, and ecological methodologies. Her embodied practice is grounded in a foundational dance education in jazz and ballet during early childhood, later expanded through contemporary dance and intensive professional training. Her partial deafness on the right side has profoundly shaped her sensory orientation, sharpening her attention to vibration, peripheral perception, silence, and non-verbal forms of communication—elements that remain central to her artistic language.

She is the co-founder of CADAVRE EXQUIS, an interdisciplinary project and exhibition series exploring ecological justice and spiritual ecology through collective and experimental formats, and CURRENT FUTURES, a long-term artistic research platform that investigates deserts worldwide as laboratories for imagining ancient and regenerative futures. Flux is also an active member of LIOS Labs, a research collective dedicated to amplifying more-than-human voices, developing life-centric methodologies, and fostering symbiotic modes of coexistence.

Through her work, Flux seeks to re-enchant perception, challenge extractivist imaginaries, and cultivate embodied, collective practices of care—working toward more-than-human, trans-planetary ways of living, sensing, and being together.
