Ursula Mayer

Ursula Mayer’s internationally exhibited practice spans a range of media, including film, video and sculpture. Mayer interweaves myth, biopolitics and the semiotics of cinema to visualize and ruminate upon future post human ontology. Mayer graduated in 1996 at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and completed her MFA at Goldsmiths University London in 2004. Her work has received critical accolades, including the prestigious Derek Jarman Award 2014 for experimental film and the Otto Mauer Prize in 2007.
