Nomin Zezegmaa (b. 1992) is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist, designer, researcher, and writer. Born and raised in Germany, she graduated from the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. In her work, she operates as a mediator and connector between realms of the ancient past, diasporic non-localities, and Mongol cosmology. The often sculptural and tactile works find fluid expression in an amorphous multiplicity of medium and material, where applied and unapplied arts meet on equal ground—with the urgency to blur and diffuse the rigid borders and boundaries between art, design, crafts, and histories. Working between Germany, the Netherlands, and Mongolia, Nomin is fascinated with archaic imagery, metal-smithing, book-making and the genealogy of writing systems, semiotics of (multispecies)mankind, and alchemy.
