Julia E Dyck
Julia E. Dyck is an artist, hypnotist and radio producer originally from Treaty One Territory/ Winnipeg who currently works and lives between Brussels and Tiohtià:ke / Montréal. Dyck’s relational and speculative practice explores possible connections between the body, (sub)consciousness and technology and the environment through performance, installation and transmission. Their practice is informed by a deep curiosity about perception and the mind, exploring trance and care rituals to create transformative experiences. Julia’s unique approach to sound and voice resonates with collective therapeutic practices, emphasising real listening as a potentially subversive and nourishing act. Dyck creates immersive experiences through group hypnosis sessions, meditative lecture performances and personalised sound prescriptions with the Audio Placebo Plaza collective. They also co-host and produce A Kind of Harmony Podcast with Amanda Harvey. Dyck’s work has been presented internationally at the Karachi Biennale, PK, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, DE, Cafe OTO, UK, Q-O2, BE, Palais des Beaux-Arts de Paris, FR, Musée d’art de Joliette, QC, among others.
Inspired by the artist’s interest in the triangulation between sound, scent and the subconscious mind, Something that has been forgotten invites the public to embark on a hypnotic experience and sink deep into the earth, embracing a sense of non-separation and unearthing memories of past or future connections and trajectories.
