Ulla von Brandenburg
The work of Ulla von Brandenburg draws on literature, psychoanalysis, theatre, hypnosis, games, magic and spiritualism, bringing them together in a type of total art.
Her films, often in black and white, revive old forms of theatre such as the tableau vivant, Greek tragedy and bourgeois drama such as that by Henrik Ibsen, the 19th century Norwegian playwright. Objects and curtains modulate the space in her exhibitions, creating a sense of theatricality that lies between reality and illusion.
