Mariele Neudecker is interested in the tradition of landscape themes in art, from its perception and the way we memorize it and recreate our experiences with data such as collective memory, time and, more recently, technology. For the artist, therefore, a landscape is also a set of historic and political data, of which we become aware with the passage of time.

She exhibited her work in important museums, such as Decomissioned, Pharos Centre for Contemporary Art, Nicosia, Cyprus (2017); Somethings happen all at once, Zeppelin Museum, Friedrichshafen, Germany (2016); This thing called darkness, Arts Towada, Japan (2008); Winterreiselife performances: Shaw Room, National Gallery of Ireland, Dublin, Ireland (2005); Over and over: Again and again, Tate Britain, London (2004-2005) and Tate St. Ives, Cornwall, United Kingdom (2004); Liquid Sea, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Australia (2003); Until now, Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, Germany (2001: Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (1996).
