Ursula Mayer's single and multi-channel films are crystalline circuits of images, composed of signs borrowed from architecture, literature, politics, mythology, geology and science. Through her poetic treatment of film, Mayer interweaves myth, biopolitics and the semiotics of cinema to visualize and ruminate upon future post-human ontology.In 2014 Mayer was awarded the Derek Jarman Award.
