Nazanin Noori is an artist, who lives and works in Berlin. Her interdisciplinary work includes sound art, composition, live and lecture performance, installation, direction, and text.

With a formal education in theater, film and media studies, Noori addresses the merging of sound, space, sculpture and post-dramatic poetry, focussing on atmospheric narratives. Her hypnoacoustic compositions extend into simultanoueasyl layered Doom Electronics, culminating in a form she has coined AMBIENT HARDCORE.

In 2016, she began her work with compositions for theater and art film. Her debut album 'FARCE', published on the enmossed label in 2020, was followed by her 54-minute sound piece 'HAAL', which premiered in 2021 at the Berliner Festspiele exhibition 'The Sun Machine Is Coming Down' at the ICC and was subsequently released by Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

Nazanin Noori's artworks were on view at EIGEN + ART Lab, Auto Italia, Akademie der Künste, CCA Berlin, M Leuven, House of World Cultures, Eye Filmmuseum, as well as Transmediale. Her performances have been staged at Martin-Gropius-Bau, Villa Massimo, Berghain, Schirn Kunsthalle, Schauspielhaus Zürich, La Gaîté Lyrique, CTM Festival and ICA London. She had artist residencies at Junge Akademie der Künste, Rupert and Callie's. Her theatre works were staged at Maxim Gorki Theater, Deutsches Theater and Berliner Ensemble. Her sound scenarios have been presented in international radio stations, such as Mutant Radio, Deep House Tehran and Refuge Worldwide, where she holds a residency since 2021.​

​Nazanin Noori was awarded with the ars viva prize for Visual Arts (2026).

Nazanin was supported by the ULYSSES Platform for an In-Situ residency at Rupert - Center for Art, Residencies and Education in 2025.
