Born in 1991, Youvalle Levy is an artist, photographer, and the co-founder of Replika Publishing. After studying photography at BTK Berlin and architecture at Universität der Künste, Youvalle developed an interest in urbanism, exploring the beauty found in the abandoned and ignored aspects of everyday life. Her diverse body of work spans photobooks, installations, printmaking, video, and ceramics. Each piece invites viewers to reconsider their surroundings and appreciate the often-overlooked elements of urban environments.

About the Artwork

“Blue Plate Special” (BPS) is a limited-edition photographic series printed on handcrafted ceramic plates using the cyanotype technique, accented with silver-coated rims. Each plate is unique due to the long and intricate production process. Photographs, primarily shot on 35mm film, are transformed into 1:1 negatives and printed onto bisque ware plates. The cyanotype process ensures variations in exposure time, chemical mix, and ceramic surface texture, making every plate one-of-a-kind. The edition is limited to six (6+ap).
