Julia Haumont (b. 1991, France) debuts in the local artistic context with works that have already proved her creative abilities in the French space, outlining a specific aesthetic, related to the claim of a lost childhood. The constituent elements of this exhibition come from the deeply personal structure of the artist’s memories, which she created together with her family in the first years of life.
Haumont creates her own playground, which she animates with ceramic and glass works, anthropomorphized children sized characters and objects inspired by the sea; her universe is completed by collages made of textile material, which outline the limits of this cosmos that is to be regained. The characters are encapsulated in a moment that the artist wants recovered, subject to the act of remembrance through a reliving. Except that she doesn’t relive it exactly, but rather leaves it to the subconscious, which, inspired by the study of family photos, generates components of the exhibition, from ceramic and glass objects, to fragments of pasteled porcelain and glass fragments, all invoking textures that support the deconstruction of her own childhood.

”All day I dream” is, first of all, an enclave of reality; an anthem of that distant, desaturated time of childhood, which we covet as adults and from which we want to escape when we are children. A time of search and discovery, of a blend between gentleness and violence, of joy and sorrow; but above all, a time when play governs any attempt at seriousness. Secondly, it is an awareness and, at the same time, an assumption of the loss of the battle with time, a conclusion of the contemplation on the mnemonic mechanisms of the human brain which at some point dilutes to complete extinction, becoming forgotten among the neuralgies generated by the inevitable passing of time.
