About Julia Flit
Julia Flit is a Kazakhstani artist and photographer based in London. She began her career in 2012, working internationally with leading jewellery designers and producing campaigns published across Condé Nast titles.
During the pandemic, she shifted her focus toward fine art, developing an underwater self-portrait practice that explores emotion, identity, and states of transformation. Alongside photography, Julia has expanded into a conceptual, materially driven practice, creating mixed-media installations using aluminium, silk, plaster and experimental 16mm. Her work often investigates liminality, protection, memory, and the thresholds between visibility and dissolution.
Julia is accredited by The Association of Photographers and has received multiple awards. Her fine art has appeared on the covers of ArtMuse (2025) and Lens Magazine (2024). Julia was shortlisted for ArtEvol 2025: Voices from Undefined at the Saatchi Gallery. In 2025- 2026 her digital work was participating in Wrong Biennale. She continues to evolve her interdisciplinary practice, guided by themes of vulnerability, presence, and quiet resistance.
Artist Statement
I am interested in documenting invisible processes—things that happen beyond our perception but shape how we experience the world. These might be the movement of data, subtle changes in nature, the way we interpret ideas, the act of paying attention or the tricks our memory plays on us.
Working with photography, 16mm film, plaster, textiles and light, I explore ways to give these processes physical form. Each material offers a different way to record a change, hold a trace or reveal something that would otherwise go unnoticed.
I often create works that change as the viewer spends time with them. What seems familiar from a distance reveals something different up close. Through these shifts, I invite people to slow down and notice how their own attention, expectations and memories shape what they see.
