Juliana Zepka is a French-Brazilian artist. She lives and works in Paris.


Her work explores the spectral and memorial dimensions of the image and the archive in the context of their policies of reproduction, digitalisation and restitution. In 2022, after finishing her degree at the Sandberg Institute (Amsterdam), she wrote a manifesto on the anarchive as keystone of her artistic research: the study of the archive through its blank pages, through the invisible, the fictional, the anonymous, the forgotten. She also works on request to create visual content (graphics, web design, video) for artists, cultural institutions and associations.

Romance & Nostalgie uses the collaboration of different artists and artistic practices to rethink our physical and emotional attachments to things, people and places, whether material or immaterial, real or digital. This first issue of the fanzine deliberately takes on themes that have been over-used in the art world, drawing on their clichés, kitsch and cultural conditioning to explore the way in which they are first and foremost images, trapping us in standardised representations and expectations while inspiring subjective and intimate interpretations.
