Julia Diệp My Feige is a German-Vietnamese artist and filmmaker currently based in Düsseldorf. Working across image, sound, text and performance, their practice draws on autotheoretical and autofictional approaches exploring memory, identity, perception and the you and I. Moving swiftly between media and genres, their works unfold in transitional states and spaces of in-betweenness, where things remain unstable but alive; they are ultimately concerned with retouching the real with the real.
