Yulia Nemova is an interdisciplinary artist born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, who graduated from Moscow Architectural Institute and is currently pursuing her Master's in Contemporary Art Practices at HSE Art and Design School.
Through installations combining XR technologies, performance, video, and hand graphics, she investigates invisible architecture and the unnoticed dimensions of inhabited spaces, while also creating films about architecture and interior projects. Her work explores how spaces relate to their inhabitants, creating moments where physical and virtual boundaries dissolve, revealing new possibilities for care between architecture and those who dwell within it.
