Ulla von Brandenburg

Museum Haus Konstruktiv is dedicating a comprehensive solo exhibition to the artist Ulla von Brandenburg, who was born in Karlsruhe in 1974 and lives in Paris. Her complex and luscious oeuvre includes specifically selected references to cultural history in a broad range of media. In her black-and-white films, installations, performances, murals, and drawings, she uses a vocabulary borrowed from theater. Her works interweave reality and fic-tion, the audience space and the stage space. Her works’ characteristic features include the use of shadows and mirrors (symbols of perception) and association-based, seemingly surreal texts, which are paired with paintings that are produced without any dependency on these texts, thus creating new contexts of meaning.
