Lives and works in Zurich and Soazza, Switzerland
From the early start of her career the focus of her artistic repertoire is the repeated discourse of space, the person in relation to space and the relation between space and light: drawings grow out of the plain and merge with sculptures and video projections into three-dimensional installations.
Zilla's works have been exhibited internationally since 1996. Past solo exhibitions were presented at Museum zu Allerheiligen, Schaffhausen (2022); Bündner Kunstmuseum, Chur (2021); Musée Jenisch, Vevey (2016); Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich (2015); Centro de Arte Caja Burgos CAB, Burgos, Spain (2014) and Museum Franz Gertsch, Burgdorf, (2014), among others. Major group exhibitions include: International Drawing Biennial, National Gallery of Kosovo, Pristina (2022); Drawing Biennial, Drawing Room, London (2021); "Fly me to the Moon", Kunsthaus Zürich and Museum der Moderne, Salzburg, Austria (2019); "The World on Paper", Palais Populaire der Deutschen Bank, Berlin (2018); "Interval in Space", Osage Art Foundation, Hong Kong (2017) and Sydney Biennale (2014). Works by Zilla can be found in numerous public collections, such as Aargauer Kunsthaus, Aarau; Bündner Kunstmuseum, Chur; Centro Gallego de Arte Contemporáneo, Santiago de Compostela; Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos, Burgos; Kunsthaus, Zurich; Kunstmuseum Basel, Museion Museo d'arte moderna e contemporanea, Bolzano; Museum Kunstpalast, Düsseldorf; Museum zu Allerheiligen, Schaffhausen and Goetz Collection, Munich, to name but a few.

In autumn 2022, she was awarded as "Honorary Companion ZHdK".
