Ulrike Schild is a visual artist living in Vienna and Cologne. Her paintings and films illuminate the significance of social and nature-based community.

When recording analog film and painting on canvas, she explores motifs that oscillate between concrete form and abstract dissolution. Groups and individuals become subjects of magical realism as they often unveil forms of contemporary tradition. The incompatibility in her juxtaposition of human fragility with the monumentality of earth, bears evidence of the absurdity of contemporary human endeavor.

From 2020 - 2025 she worked as video artist in permanent residency at Volkstheater Vienna.

She creates visual work for contemporary theatre, shaping live camera and real-time imagery that expands the performance space and drives narrative through cinematic presence.
