Ulrike Schild is a visual artist based between Cologne and Vienna, working across painting, film and video art for live performance. Her practice explores social and nature-based communities, human fragility and the relationship between individuals, groups and their environments.

As a video artist, she has worked with institutions including Volkstheater Wien, Schauspiel Köln and Deutsche Oper am Rhein. Her international practice includes artist residencies and projects in Japan and Europe. During residencies in Tokyo and Marseille, she developed both painting and film works in dialogue with the city and its social environment.

Her work moves between observation, fiction and elements of magical realism, combining painting and moving image as parallel ways of looking at social and spatial relationships.
