Nicolas Prokop (1995*) is a Czech-German artist, based in Prague and currently studying under Dominik Lang and Isabela Grosseová at the studio of sculpture, UMPRUM.
He mainly works in the medium of installation, often engaging with their environment or further including sound and video, but clearly originating in sculpture. In coherence of topics and approach, his works are site specific, interventions in public space or performative; generally drawing attention to the processual nature of things, interweaving topics with the process of creation and materiality. His artistic practice is based in the use of found materials with a strong focus on dématérialisation and re-materialization in an organic aesthetic. Through his practise he is creating imaginations of other habitats or microscopic world views, through a research-based approach.
