Ursula Biemann

Visual Artist

Ursula Biemann is a Swiss artist and theorist whose practice centres on fieldwork, often in indigenous territories, and the creation of networks between different fields of knowledge. Her artistic practice reflects on the political ecologies of forests, oil and water, creating through her videos, books and installations critical perspectives on the dynamics of extraction while also proposing alternative ecocentric modes of ecological and epistemological relatedness. She published the online monograph ‘Becoming Earth’ on ten years of her ecological video works and writing, and the book ‘Forest Mind: On the Interconnection of All Life’ with Spector Books.
