Ulla VON BRANDENBURG
152.5 x 122.5 cm
Ulla von Brandenburg’s work develops itself in a variety of mediums and forms, on different scales and with the help of various media: films, performances, installations and objects, music, drawings... If the ensemble draws inspiration from literature, art history and film, architecture and theater, it is a large and complex work that Ulla von Brandenburg builds, bringing human crafts and practices at the center. Showing great interest in popular ceremonies, minority societies and the subject of ritual in general, Ulla von Brandenburg creates images which gradually distance themselves from reality and shift our expectations. Abstraction, collage, colorimetry, psychoanalysis, bodily and costume patterns, gesture as form are all research sources from which the artist nourishes her work.

Allemagne
Born in 1974
She lives and works in Paris. Ulla Von Brandenburg studied set design at the Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung art college in Karlsruhe, Germany. She also studied visual arts at the Hamburg School of Fine Arts. She was one of the four finalists for the 2016 Prix Marcel Duchamp.
Her work is characterised by the variety of mediums and formats she uses, transforming them into a complex theme with motifs appearing in different contexts. Her displays hark back to wall paintings and to designs themselves drawn from compositions in videos the artist recorded herself. The videos in turn serve as inspiration for future works.
