Yule Burlefinger is said to be a carrier of wor(l)ds, a free-spirited wanderer, and a ‘lamp person’ –
Through poetry and photography, she shares her journey of self-love: Her writing is interwoven with strong imagery and thick language, whilst her photography explores a sensitive approach to capture subtle emotions, hidden traces, and nuanced ways of being in and seeing the world.
She uses performance to disrupt the algorithm of (public) spaces and to raise questions that touch upon the confinements of social structures and the depth of our longings as humans. Yule Burlefinger has an embodied experience of how art can change the stories that we tell ourselves and of how it allows us to tap into the wisdom of our bodies – she shares her tools in her work as well as in workshops and coaching sessions – upon request.
“- cause our existence is not a garden, it is a jungle
and the storms of life are not meant to be controlled
blindfolded wander, wonders untold,
I was told that one day,
our wings will unfold.”
- Yule Burlefinger

“Ich habe schlecht geschlafen. Die Träume der Nacht drücken gegen meine Stirn. Ich habe sie nicht fertig geträumt, habe mich nicht getraut, bin wachgeworden von der Schwere, die nun auf meiner Brust liegt. Zusammen mit der Bettdecke ist das zu viel. Gewicht. Ich schiebe den Stoff zurück, der sich an meine feuchte Haut geklebt hat. Ich streife mir die Nacht vom Körper, die Erinnerung jedoch sitzt hartnäckig in meinen Gliedern. Ich vermisse ihn. Ich vermisse uns. Wenn Vermissen einen Geschmack hätte, wäre es zartbitter. Wie eine Schokolade, die so voll und so dunkel ist, dass sie auf der Zunge hängenbleibt, die in ihrer Polarität von süß und bitter so intensiv ist, dass es Geschmacksknospen an ihre Grenzen bringt. Die Grenze des Schmeckens, zwischen Genuss und dem gerade noch Aushaltbaren. Genau dort befindet sich die Erinnerung an eine Freundschaft, die sich in meinen Kern graviert hatte und ihn in ihrer Ausdehnung aufgebrochen hatte.”
Photography
From portrait and nude photography to landscape and street photography, Yule’s work aims to unveil and capture the subtle textures, the hidden layers, and the unknown spaces within and without.
// This is part of what the waves […] have washed ashore.
These waves have left traces, in the water, on land, these waves have created shells with pearls and notches of compassion in the sand. And I know that something will stay, in the midst of change.
