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
