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.

This monographic book includes a rich iconography, in particular with views of the exhibition at
the Palais de Tokyo, a conversation between the artist, Laure Fernandez, a researcher into the
performing arts, and Yoann Gourmel, the curator of the exhibition, as well as two unpublished
essays by the art historian Merel van Tilburg on the Ulla von Brandenburg's oeuvre and the
historians Leonor Delaunay and Manuel Charpy on the history of the stage curtain.
