Ulla Von Brandenburg - Palais de Tokyo (Paris)

From a background rich in literature and the history of arts and architecture – as well as psychoanalysis, spiritism, and magic – Ulla von Brandenburg explores the shaping of our social constructs with borrowings from theatrical codes and mechanisms, together with esoteric rituals and popular ceremonies. For her exhibition at the Palais de Tokyo she has conceived a total, constantly evolving project inspired by the theatre, its imaginary realm and its conventions. With ritual as her starting point, she invites the public to experience an immersive reinterpretation of the themes, forms and motifs – including movement, the stage, colour, music and textiles – that fuel her oeuvre.
