My Little Realities

I grew up in the theater and story house as a kid, and between everyday life spent a lot of time dreaming inside my head. I’m fascinated about the idea of what reality is?

“My Little Realities” present the small taste of this ongoing

experience. These photography series embody the theatrical narratives that both recreate and capture the moments from living fiction that evoke the beauty of daily life in vignette and humanity in landscape.

Juliann Wang is a Chicago-based interdisciplinary artist, working in visual art, sound, performance, and dance practice. This work focuses on the capacity to evoke a coherent vision

of communication, harmony, and meditative contemplation, in dialogue with contemporary practices and societal context. She has been actively creating and sharing her practice through
