Ursula Reuter Christiansen (born 13 February 1943 in Trier, Germany) creates work, whether it is painting or filmmaking, that showed examples of mythological symbolism.
Her work proved to be influenced by societal pressures she felt as a mother and wife and the feminist art movement activities from about 1970 in Denmark.
[1] Later in 1970, Christiansen released a movie called The Executioner, in which she narrated a story about a woman whose life was changed after giving birth to her husband's child.
Although she received a lot of critique for her film by those that viewed it, it was a direct use of Reuter Christiansen’s own experience as a woman, a wife and a mother.
In 2024, Ursula Reuter Christiansen's first and largest retrospective exhibition I am Fire and Water was presented at Arken Museum of Modern Art.
