Yulia Shur's work *exile–lick my tears* is a self-portrait and a collaboration with artist Staskauskas. The piece explores themes of sexuality, desire, and the female form. Shur's use of self-portraiture is particularly powerful, as she uses her own body as the canvas for her art. The collaboration with the jewelry designer Staskauskas adds a layer of depth to the work, as the two artists worked together to create a unique vision. *exile–lick my tears* is a mix of photography and digital manipulation, the result being a dreamlike image that draws the viewer in, inviting them to explore their own desires and fantasies. The artistic references in the work are varied, from the sensual paintings of Gustav Klimt to the abstract photography of Man Ray.

Shur's biographical notes reveal that she was born in Belarus and is now based in Los Angeles. Her artistic approach involves stretching the boundaries of traditional photography to create unique and emotive images. The themes of illusions, poisoned beauty, and subconscious fantasies that she explores in her work are a reflection of her own personal experiences and perspectives of the future.

MULTIPLE-ULTRA-FUTURE brings together artists, designers, and thinkers who are pushing the boundaries of what is possible, aiming to inspire visitors to imagine new and exciting futures for humanity. Multiple refers to the idea that there are many possible futures, and that we should explore as many of them as we can. Ultra refers to the extreme possibilities of technology, from AI and robotics to biotech and nanotech. Future, of course, refers to the idea that we are constantly moving toward a new and (by definition) uncertain future. This project unfolds visually as such:
* The future is not predetermined, but rather multiple and open to exploration.
* Technology has the potential to transform our world in ways we can hardly imagine.
* Creativity and innovation will be key to shaping the future we want to live in.

By bringing together a diverse range of works and perspectives, MULTIPLE-ULTRA-FUTURE invites viewers to engage with questions about our collective future, and be inspired to imagine and create their own visions of what lies ahead. 
Curated by Auronda Scalera + Alfredo Cramerotti, the collection presents artworks by acclaimed artists such as Florencia S.M. Brück, Genesis Kai, Ellen Sheidlin, Serwah Attafuah, Ninocence, Katie McIntyre, Cymoonv, Yulia Shur, Viktoria Modesta, and Sasha Katz.
