BIOGRAPHY

Ursula Mayer’s single and multi-channel films are crystalline circuits of images, composed of signs borrowed from architecture, fashion, literature, politics, mythology, geology and science. Through her poetic treatment of film Mayer interweaves myth, biopolitics and the semiotics of cinema to visualize and ruminate upon future post human ontology. In 2014 she has been awarded the Derek Jarman award.

Her work has been shown in the Hayward Gallery, Southbank Centre, London; SeMA Biennale Mediacity, Seoul; Moderna Museet, Stockholm & Moderna Museet Malmoe;  Audain Gallery, Vancouver; ICA, London; 21erHaus, Vienna; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Lentos Museum Linz; Hamburger Kunstverein and Basel Kunsthalle.
