With a practice rooted in experimental video, installation, and visual poetry, Julia Zurilla explores memory, silence, and displacement through an aesthetic that intertwines analog and digital technologies. Her work emerges from intuitive, affective research processes and materializes in visual compositions where nostalgia, language, and landscape exist in constant tension.

Monumentalizing the trace, solo show
An exhibition by the collaborative duo TREIZMAN + ZURILLA.
Conceived across the entire gallery, the installation transforms the space through video, light, and material interventions, where flooding and unflooding unfold in opposing temporal loops.
The work stages a tension between accumulation and withdrawal, exploring memory and environmental precarity as spatial experience.

“Mayaimi” means “big water” in the language of the Calusa and Tequesta peoples, the original inhabitants of South Florida who lived in deep relationship with the region’s vast aquatic landscape. Drawing on that legacy, this group exhibition showcases South Florida artists whose work reflects the ocean’s beauty, power, and fragility, and the ways water shapes human life, culture, and survival.

En esta unión de archivos vernáculos, analógicos, con registros digitales que exceden la atmósfera terrestre, la artista plantea a la vez una paradoja del tiempo en relación con la actua-lidad de un mundo hecho de imágenes: la ruina detenida de los recuerdos que habitan en las fotografías y videos alojados en nubes intangibles, orbitando en un punto indeterminado entre el espacio y la Tierra. Entre estas dos posiciones verticales opuestas, Julia Zurilla plantea así una noción de paisaje como constructo conceptual, en el que valores como la línea de horizon-te, la temperatura y la presencia humana en su plena cotidianidad recuperan un arquetipo de paisaje humano en sus aspectos más elementales

Primal Ensemble presents a live sound activation of Julia Zurilla’s immersive installation Tide of Memory at Green Space Miami. Through improvisation with percussion, synthesizers, and acoustic instruments, the ensemble creates a sonic landscape that evokes meditative resonances, like the sound of the sea or the wind, dialoguing with the projected imagery and the material qualities of the space.
