Julia Fullerton-Batten

Welcome to the wonderland that is the work of photographer Julia Fullerton-Batten.

Building on her growing rep as one of fine art photography’s rising stars, her photo series Teenage Stories landscapes are populated with seemingly indifferent giant girls. Even if you could forget the flawless technical execution in her photographs, the study of that sort of ho-hum teenage banality really pops to life when you imagine one of these bored girls squashing your car with her massive Havaianas. The juxtaposition of the reality of adolescent inner-turmoil against this Alice in Suburbia non-reality makes for an endlessly fascinating play in her work.
