Lara Nelke is an artist and designer based in Berlin. Until her graduation in 2020, she studied spatial design and scenography at Universität der Künste Berlin and Musashino Art University Tokyo. Her work is based around the infrastructures of the Anthropocene. Through performance, sculptures, and site-specific installations she outlines the invisible everyday infrastructures that shape our surrounding contemporary environment in cities and in the peripheries. Sites, things, and topics that seem banal or omnipresent are subversively appropriated to dream and manifest an alternative present.

Since 2018 she is part of the editor's collective of Un Series, which was founded in 2017 by a group of researchers, artists, and designers at the Berlin University of the Arts as a transdisciplinary platform offering an open space for artists, theorists, scientists, writers, and activists to explore the potentials of current discontent.
