Julie Sjöfn Gasiglia

Julie Sjöfn Gasiglia (b. 1990, France) is an Icelandic–French artist whose work is rooted in the exploration of narratives that interlace humans with the more-than-human world—the relationships that surround us and the ecosystems that dwell within our own bodies.

Her sculptures and installations become meditations on slowness, transformation, responsibility, and interconnectedness. These man-made creatures pose questions about the sustainability of systems and the dysfunctions that arise within them.

In a world of overstimulation, she offers an invitation to listen with the whole body, expanding our capacity to notice, feel, and respond to the living world.

Her multi-sensory installations foreground the intimate bonds between humans and more-than-human beings. Whether through speaker-embedded ceramics or movement-activated environments, her practice slows perception and fosters interspecies empathy. Sounds drawn from the artist’s own microbiome travel through fired clay, while the viewers’ presence influences the rhythm and flow of fluids—reminders of connections beyond language that invite a sensorial encounter.
