Elin Laut (he/him) is an interdisciplinary artist working across costume, sculpture, installation, video, and performance. His practice explores queer corporeality and the social, material, and media-based conditions of identity.
Site-specific and collaborative, his process-based projects unfold in dialogue with space, context and community, creating hybrid forms between exhibition and performance. Working with symbolically charged materials and found objects, he creates pieces that engage with the body – queering material norms and exploring gender from a trans perspective across cyberspace, stage, and lived reality.
His work has been shown at Berlin institutions such as Maxim Gorki Theater, Künstlerhaus Bethanien, and Neuköllner Oper, as well as in off-spaces like the former City Casino Alexanderplatz and Sonntagsclub. His video works have screened at film festivals internationally. Elin holds a Master’s degree from the University of the Arts Berlin and is co-founder of critical.costume, an initiative exploring costume in expanded artistic practices.
