Johanna Hullár is a Zurich-based visual artist and creative director,
working with photography, video installations and timebased sculptures.
Biography
She graduated from the HTW Berlin with a degree in communication design and holds a master’s degree in photography from ECAL, University of Art and Design Lausanne. Hullár’s practice explores themes of connection, materiality, time and perception. She investigates new ways of mixing still and moving images, playing with notions of surreality and reality, and generated objects to reflect on possible futures and the interaction of (wo)man-made and natural materials, presented through a humorous and feminine prism. Hullár’s transdisciplinary approach opens up new visual spaces, offering visitors a sensory experience with sculptural arrangements frozen in ice, constantly in motion and changing state.
Laureate of the Swiss Design Awards 2024 and Prix de l’ECAL 2020, and nominee for the Prix Mobilière 2024, Hullár made her institutional debut at Kunsthalle Mannheim in 2021, followed by the solo shows Floral Landscape (2021), Burning Desires (2022) and Material Landscape (2023) held in Zurich. She has exhibited internationally, including at Swiss House Milano (2022), Jungkunst Winterthur (2021), Tokyo Photographic Research (2019), Biennale dell’Immagine Chiasso (2019) and Paris Photo (2018). In 2023, she was resident at La Becque artist residency.
