NADA New York 2025

Julia Platt’s project largely centers on her twin sister, yet it appears almost incidental. Unlike her earlier series, the artist avoids self-portraits, gazing outwards exclusively instead. 
Standing by the wall, on balcony or terrace overlooking a garden, she captures nature and still life in the foreground. It is summertime, and she’s spending it at her family home with her introspective, tense, and preoccupied sister. This is the slice of life we witness. Like Jack Nicholson in Chinatown, tracing a summer romance, we encounter not tranquility but a fire, an understatement, mystery at best.
