With his film Rhabarber Boy Ulu Braun has created a technically outstanduing phantasy comic and 3 D collage that demonstrates mordern forms of production and at the same time takes up and thwarts filmic narration forms. Stuttgarter Filmwinter, 2008
Braun belongs to a new generation of critical romantics and shows beauty and repulsion in artificial paradises. His area of expertise is a picturesque context of German lightness and irony. Works by German artists Uwe Henneken, Neo Rauch, Kai Althof, but also Anglo-Saxon artists such as Laura Owens and Martha Colburn manifest itself in a similar way. Heavy subjects are addressed sharply in Braun’s work through modern irony, mystique and shock effect. MediaArt Friesland, Netherlands, 2007
With its bizarre juxtaposition of images Ulu Braun´s "Südwest" subversively undermines the slick and glossy surfaces of our media world. It is the visually most exuberant, excessive and excentric work i have seen in this programm- and i love it for its abundance. Matthias Müller, (Jury, 25 FPS - Zagreb), 2007
