« The Écho series (ondulations lumineuses), snapshots of the almost invisible, seems to have been born of a gesture that took place alone, without an artist or brushes, by the simple intervention of light and its desire to spread across the surface of a diaphanous canvas. Julie Navarro's art is spectral in two senses: in that it scatters pigments, capturing their mobile radiance with a bird's grace, open to disappearance; and in that it is on the lookout for ghostly presences, shadows and imprints. His works urge us to accentuate the power of the eye. The wave motif is everywhere: in the water, in the light, in the music and dance of the balls that the artist organises.
The wave is the propagation of a disturbance that produces a reversible variation in the local physical properties of the environment; there is no doubt that the artist imparts a vitality that spreads when she brings together, in performances in the peat bogs or in her Breton or Parisian balls, individuals who are unknown to each other and unfamiliar with the art world, and invites them to 'produce a common body' (...) ».
