Magicien, 2022
Magicien by Ulla von Brandenburg feels like a still from a play we’ve just stepped into. A magician, mid-illusion, floats between presence and disappearance, head in hand, curtain drawn.
The print plays with theater’s visual codes: bold colors, empty stages, shadowy figures. It’s both a spectacle and a question; what’s real, what’s performed?
Von Brandenburg uses lithography not to preserve tradition, but to push against it,reminding us that even the oldest techniques can hold the sharpest mirrors.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ulla von Brandenburg (born 1974 in Karlsruhe) is a German artist based in Paris known for her multidisciplinary practice that merges film, performance, installation, drawing, and textiles. With a background in scenography, her work draws heavily on theatrical elements to explore themes like ritual, psychology, folklore, and the boundaries between illusion and reality. Her immersive environments, often described as “penetrable plays,” have been exhibited internationally in major institutions such as Palais de Tokyo and Whitechapel Gallery.
CURATOR´S NOTE
There is a hush to Magicien, a softness that draws you closer without urgency. Ulla von Brandenburg conjures a figure suspended between worlds—masked yet unguarded, neither arriving nor departing. What lingers is not clarity, but spellwork. This is a print that doesn’t reveal itself all at once. It asks you to dwell in the in-between: between gesture and stillness, between theatre and dream. As with much of von Brandenburg’s work, there’s no final act—only the quiet invitation to stay a little longer, and see what shifts within you.
