Lars Preisser’s works repeatedly refer to an accelerated post-industrial age and resulting issues. In his works, he questions normative approaches in industry, economy and society and, through his works, creates possibilities for alternative experiences, a rethinking and opportunities for a different future. His projects often involve many years of making and artistic research resulting in concise formations of detailed drawings, animations, built machines, woven textiles and other mediums. His installations contextualize current issues ranging from gentrification, global warming, post-colonial contexts, hidden histories, lived experiences to industrial materials and technology that he himself is connected to through his own ancestors and their industrial heritage.

Lars Preisser holds degrees in textile art (Bachelor of Visual Arts) from Otago Polytechnic School of Art (Aotearoa/ NZ) and in media art/ expanded cinema ( Diplom/ MA equivalent) from the Academy of Fine Art Leipzig (DE). He received grants and prizes for his work. He exhibited internationally at Blue Oyster Gallery Dunedin (NZ), Objectspace Auckland (NZ), Bauhaus Dessau (DE), nGbK Berlin (DE), Contextile 2022 contemporary textile art biennial (PT) among others.
