Ulla von Brandenburg (1974)

Ulla von Brandenburg

Ulla von Brandenburg is a German media artist and scenographer living and working in Paris.

Ulla studied scenography in Germany at the University of Art and Design Karlsruhe and fine arts at the University of Fine Arts Hamburg. Her projects are realized through a combination of black and white film, installation, performance, drawing and painting, mural painting, theater and video.

Theater is central to the artist's work. She often draws on representational forms from the late nineteenth century and early modernism. Ulla von Brandenburg expresses her love of fabrics and draperies in the creation of peculiar curtains with obvious references to classical theater productions, themes of Harlequin and buffoonery.
