Ulla Van Brandenburg

Ulla Van Brandenburg

Born in 1974 in Karlsruhe, Gremany. Lives and works in Paris since 2005.

Ulla von Brandenburg is a German artist whose work is characterized by the diversity of materials and methods that interact with one another and which she stages according to the exhibition spaces. With a perfect command of the codes of scenography, drawing inspiration from literature, art history, and architecture as well as psychoanalysis, spiritualism, and magic, she borrows from esoteric rituals and popular ceremonies as much as from the mechanisms and codes of theater to explore the construction of our social structures. 

Internationally recognized, her work has been the subject of numerous personal exhibitions, including in 2026 in China at the Design Society and at the Ernst Barlach Museum in Hamburg, as well as at the Wilhelm Hack Museum in Ludwigshafen am Rhein (2025).

Laureate of the Villa Kujoyama in 2024, her work is part of prestigious collections such as those of the Tate Modern in London, the Mamco in Geneva, the Centre Pompidou and the Musée d’Art Moderne in Paris, the GAM in Turin, and the Mudam in Luxembourg.
