About this Event
Ursula Biemann will guide us through her artistic practice, in which she takes a systemic approach to environmental conditions by connecting a theoretical and planetary macro-level with the micro-politics on the ground. During her research, Biemann encounters Indigenous communities and their ways of thinking about our vital relationship to the earth. The evening will be hosted by the philosopher Rosi Braidotti.
Ursula Biemann
Ursula Biemann is an artist, writer and video essayist. Her artistic practice is strongly research-based, involving fieldwork in remote locations from Greenland to the Amazon, where she investigates climate change and the ecologies of oil, ice, forests and water.
In her multi-layered videos, she interweaves vast cinematic landscapes with documentary footage, science fiction poetry and research findings to narrate a changing planetary reality. Her practice spans a range of media including experimental video, interview, text, performance, photography, cartography, props and materials, which converge in formalised spatial installations. Her work also takes the form of publications, lectures, and curatorial and collaborative research projects.
