Astrid Mulder works across performance, photography and video to explore how we perceive and engage with the world through the body. Her artworks question contemporary forms of communication and navigation through playful choreography that attempts to direct and hold your attention. Within the bizarre and illogical scenarios she creates, moments of absurdity and humour often arise, inviting a curious exploration of meaning, association, and the human condition.
