Yuna-Lee Pfau is an interdisciplinary artist based in Cologne Germany. Her works are rooted in more-than human storytelling and ecofeminist questions of belonging. She combines auto-ethnographic methods with artistic research and intuitive aesthetics to create texts, video essays, installations, collages and sound pieces. Her current focus lies on Researching the relationship between personal experiences of loss and mourning in connection to ecological processes of decay and the loss of species and landscapes on a global scale.
