Description: With Ulla Diedrichsen, you get far around in time, place and space. From Sønderho to Salzburg over Aarhus, New York and Vienna. From concept art in the 70s to the stone floor in Ribe Cathedral in 2020. From childhood pencil strokes to today's digital form of communication. From word to picture. Words taken from the past and brought into the present as a visual form. The driving force in this whirlwind of impressions is a deep curiosity and wonder about life, about living here and now. Ulla Diedrichsen's artistic work has many facets. This is reflected in various media that she has worked with and researched over the years. Be it concept art, photography, film, performance, painting, graphics, installations and decorations of various kinds. Words from the artist herself are often included. This is also the case in this publication, which has been created in connection with Ulla Diedrichsen's total installation on the top floor of Ribe Art Museum in the autumn of 2021. In the article 'Thought Odyssey', Diedrichsen guides the reader through landscapes, times, experiences and impressions from childhood to the age of reflection. , where curiosity does not diminish, but the collection of experience increases. That pictures are meant, there is no doubt when you meet this artist, but the words - they also carry meaning beyond being a form. Not only new words, but especially the old ones. Those that pop up here and there. Often only in fragments, so you can only sense something and have to guess the rest. In the encounter with Diedrichsen's art, the eyes are opened to the incomprehensible, the curiosity is piqued and the wonder becomes questions and reflections. Exhibition: Ribe Art Museum, Denmark (25.09.2021-20.02.2022)

Med Ulla Diedrichsen kommer man langt omkring både i tid, sted og rum. Fra Sønderho til Salzburg over Aarhus, New York og Wien. Fra konceptkunst i 70erne til stengulvet i Ribe Domkirke i 2020. Fra barndommens blyantstreger til nutidens digitale form for kommunikation. Fra ord til billede. Ord hentet i fortiden og bragt ind i nutiden som en visuel form. Drivkraften i denne hvirvelvind af indtryk er en dyb nysgerrighed på og forundring over tilværelsen, over det at leve her og nu. Ulla Diedrichsens kunstneriske virke har mange facetter. Det giver sig udtryk i forskellige medier, hun igennem årene har arbejdet med og afsøgt. Det være sig konceptkunst, fotografi, film, performance, maleri, grafik, installationer og udsmykninger af forskellig art. Ofte er der fulgt ord med fra kunstneren selv. Det er også tilfældet i denne publikation, som er blevet til i forbindelse med Ulla Diedrichsens totalinstallation på Ribe Kunstmuseums øverste etage i efteråret 2021. I artiklen 'Tankeodyssé' fører Diedrichsen læseren gennem landskaber, gennem tider, gennem oplevelser og indtryk fra barndom til eftertankens alder, hvor nysgerrigheden ikke bliver mindre, men erfaringsopsamlingen større. At billeder er meningen, er der ingen i tvivl om, når man møder denne kunstner, men ordene - de bærer også betydning ud over at være en form. Ikke alene nye ord, men i særdeleshed også de gamle. Dem, der dukker op hist og her. Ofte kun i brudstykker, så man kun kan ane noget og må gætte sig til resten. I mødet med Diedrichsens kunst åbnes øjnene for det uforståelige, nysgerrigheden pirres og forundringen bliver til spørgsmål og eftertanke.
