Julie Hrnčířová is a Czech artist currently based in Oslo.

A graduate of the École Nationale Supérieure de la Photographie in Arles, France, she has exhibited her work in various venues, including Fotogalleriet, Fotografienshus, Gamle Munch, Pragovka Gallery in Prague, KÖSK Gallery in Oslo, and at the Rencontres de la Photographie in Arles, where her work was featured during the “Photo Slam” event in 2022.
In January 2023, she held a solo exhibition titled This Might Be Useful One Day at the Atelier Josefa Sudka Gallery in Prague. In November 2023, she presented her series Everyday Sculptures at PhotoSaintGermain in Paris. In March 2025, she completed an art residency at the Centre photographique Rouen Normandie, where she collaborated with students from a woodworking vocational high school.
In August, she was part of the Olden residency (Norway) led by Bjørnar Pedersen.
In November 2025, she will take part in the Biennale of Tangible Image in Paris.
Julie primarily works with photography but frequently incorporates found materials, wood, metal, and ceramics into her installations, exploring the dialogue between different media. Her artistic practice focuses on public space, urban environments, still lifes, and abandoned elements. She often captures objects and traces left behind by strangers and passersby, as well as remnants of materials discovered during her walks. She is currently developing a series of handmade abstract C-prints in the darkroom, exploring how wild vegetation penetrates urban landscapes.
Lately, she has incorporated sound and field recording into her installations.
She is also working on several social photo-documentary projects in Norway, Czechia, and France.

Hrnčířová is part of 'Futures Photography,' a European platform that connects emerging photographers from around the world. She is also affiliated with 'Forbundet Frie Fotografer,' Norway’s national organization supporting photographic art.
In 2025 she was shortlisted for «Fotografis portfolio prize 2025» by Fotografi Magasinet & Preus Museum (NO).
She was twice nominated for the Czech Grand Design Award in the 'Photography' category and won the award for the best photographer under 30 from the Association of Professional Photographers (Czechia) in 2022. Hrnčířová also works as an editorial photographer, capturing portraits of architects, designers, musicians, and other artists in Norway and the Czech Republic for various magazines and newspapers.
