Biography
Astrid Mulder
Astrid Mulder is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily across photography and video. She creates digital collages of her performing body to examine the psychological complexities of navigating modern life. Arms and legs become key protagonists, activating bold colours and geometric props. Playful and humorous encounters often emerge as these limbs falter, hesitate, or pause in moments of uncertainty and surprise. Mulder responds to the overwhelming flow of imagery and information in contemporary life, drawing on the visual strategies of advertising to explore how attention is directed and sustained. Across her practice, movement and interaction reflect her desire for stability and connection. She employs theatricality, humour, and abstraction as tools for making sense of the world, using her body in dialogue with colour, form, and composition to translate her experience of finding her way. Mulder holds a Master of Contemporary Art from the Victorian College of the Arts. Recent highlights include exhibiting at the Art Gallery of Ballarat (2026). Her work is held in the University of Melbourne Art Collection, and in 2022, she received the Fiona Myer Award for Excellence.
