Memorial to the lesbians and gays persecuted in Munich during the Nazi era

Ulla von Brandenburg makes use of drawing , installation , performance and film in her artistic work . Its diverse sources come, for example, from the fields of literature, psychoanalysis, theater, photography and circus. From this she developed her visual vocabulary with which she tells ambiguous and fascinating stories.

The theater is a focal point of their work. She often falls back on forms of representation from the late 19th century and the beginning of modernism. Her productions combine Singspiel , Tableau vivant , paper cutting and black- and -white film , they transport the viewer into a world in which the contrasts between complex role-playing games and hidden emotions are revealed.

On June 27, 2017, the memorial she designed for the lesbians and gays persecuted during the Nazi era was opened in Munich . It is located on the corner of Oberanger and Dultstrasse. Ulla von Brandenburg had previously won an art competition organized by the City of Munich's Department of Culture.
