Having graduated from Arts Décoratifs de Paris, she works in the fields of books, design and scenography both on paper and digitally. From the studio Volumique, she wrote many books and apps : Poèmes en Pièces, les Aventures d’un Village, Labyrinthe, Moving Cards, le Petit Train Postal, la Pluie à Midi.
In 2014, she was the artist in residency at the Hong Kong Arts Center and in 2016, she became the laureate for digital arts at the Villa Kujoyama in Kyoto. In 2017, she presented Uramado at the Museum of Hunting and Nature and Pliés Coupés Décalés, a moving exhibition organised by the children book fair in Montreuil. Since 2018, she realises windows for Maison Hermès in Tokyo and Maison Hermès in Shanghai and exhibits Uramado AR, an experience in enhanced reality across the world.
She currently works on Fortune Teller and Lanscapes in Construction, two exhibition projects mixing traditional and digital practices. Through her research, Julie Stephen Chheng questions our relationship to nature by confronting the mecanisms of interpretation, built on words and images. Her work revolves around playful and combinatorial narration inviting the spectator to place themselves amongst tangible and virtual universes.
