In recent years, Julie Mallozzi has begun creating art installations that allow her to explore the interactions of cultures and histories across time and space. Her installation work shows in galleries, public spaces, and community settings.

An 11-site light and video installation commissioned by Harvard University in honor of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The thirty articles of the Declaration were projected as “light grafitti” around Harvard’s undergraduate, law, and government campuses. A site-specific video loop on the long wall of the main library incorporated animation by Norah Solorzano and music by DJ Flack. (10 light projections and 4-minute animation loop, December 2008)

A video piece installed in the laundromat where it was partially filmed. Projected on a hanging bedsheet for customers to encounter, the abstract imagery develops into a portrait of four tiny shops in a block of San Francisco’s Mission district. The shops are as diverse as their neighborhood: a Chinese-run laundry, a Salvadoran hair salon, a hipster tattoo parlor, an art gallery. They are linked by location and by their inhabitants’ loving attention to beautifying the surfaces they work with.  (7-minute video projection, 2009)

An autobiographical piece exploring the mutability of memory, and the ephemerality of the many small moments that make up life.  The piece rolls through five seconds of the artist’s breakfasts with her family for an entire year.  It is rear projected onto a sheet of mylar hanging by invisible wire from the gallery ceiling.  (30-minute video loop projected on mylar, 2011)

A two-channel video installation that explores the idea of the body as a document onto which one's experiences are imprinted over the course of a life. The piece portrays a 60-year-old woman whose body has undergone a remarkable transformation. It is a companion piece to a full-length film. (2-channel video projection, 2010)
