Biography

Lara Almarcegui’s practice interrogates urban environments, focusing on construction sites, vacant land and the material composition of cities. Through sustained engagement with each city and context in which she works, she reveals the economic, geological, and institutional forces that shape the built environment. Her work resists conventional notions of authorship and production, foregrounding processes of use, neglect and transformation, while reframing land and value through the material, legal and social conditions that structure urban space.
