Metropolitan Culture Corner with Julia Buruleva | Barcelona Metropolitan

This month on the Metropolitan Culture Corner, we interview Julia Buruleva. Born in Russia and based in Barcelona for the past 7 years, her work combines photography, videography, installation, and performance. The way she plays with the scenery, props, lighting effects, and other elements creates a surreal world filled with contrasts and symbolism. This is true whether she’s setting up a fashion shoot or a commercial shoot for an advertisement for a major brand, or if she’s planning one of her eye-catching personal artistic projects.
Her work has been published in magazines such as Elle, InStyle, Latest, Rolling Stone Argentina, and more, everywhere from the US to the UK, from France to China, from to Italy to Malasia. Her projects over the past several years include “Beach is a New Theater”- a series of improvised, open-call, participatory photoshoots on Barcelona public beaches - to “Synchronization,” a series of complex shoots on international locations which combines elements of photography, land art, performance, and digital art.

I had never heard of conceptual photography before seeing Julia Buruleva's work. The way that she uses real people and real settings to create images with elements of the surreal is truly fascinating. I cannot wait to see her new video project- would love to see her again on Culture Corner!

Julia Buruleva's approach to inspiration is captivating! Instead of waiting for inspiration to strike, she actively seeks it out. She shows that creativity is born from dedication and exploration. Her different projects, from the "Beach is a New Theater" series to the international "Synchronization" series, highlight the depth of her vision and the power of deliberate artistic pursuit. This interview really captures the essence of her work and the profound effort that goes into it. Julia's ability to create surreal images using real people and settings is fascinating, and I can't wait to see more of her work featured on Culture Corner. Great interview, thanks Tori!

What struck me most in this interview was her deliberate approach to inspiration. Instead of waiting for it to strike, Julia actively seeks it out, embodying the idea that creativity is a result of dedication and exploration. Her diverse projects, from beach photoshoots to international series like "Synchronization," showcase the depth of her vision and the power of deliberate artistic pursuit. Great interview, thanks Tori!

This interview really captured the true essence of her artwork with the complexity and hard work that goes into it. Her explanation of how she has to work for her inspiration by going out and finding it was truly profound and inspiring as a listener. It shows how deliberate artists are, instead of the normalized idea that artists always stumble upon inspiration.

I was truly inspired by watching this video! I think too often we can get caught up in routines of monotony, never dedicating enough effort to break the ice. With Julia, however, her drive to always be creating something new regardless of her situation got me thinking about how I could apply this approach to my own life. If applied properly, I think it could be extremely freeing.
