Willkommen, bienvenue, welcome!
Im Haus of Cats, au Haus of Cats, to Haus of Caaaaaats!
I am your host, the amazing Zuzu!
Art monster, glittery bitch, certified weirdo. The most lady-shaped pile of cats in a trench coat you’ll ever see.
And this is my Haus of Cats
Part cabaret, part freak show, part library.
A defiantly labyrinthine repository of my glorious art and everything that goes into the making of it.
The door is open… won’t you come in?
You may have been introduced to me by my outside name - Elinor Trier (or even Eli Trier) - but here, in my Haus, I am Zuzu.
I am the artist.
I am the art.
I am a feminist multidisciplinary artist making mixed media paintings, writings, videos, podcasts, zines, books, and more from my Copenhagen studio (if you'd like to visit in person, you're welcome! The door is open by appointment).
All of my work is in service to the celebration of otherness.
The golden threads of my work are connection, identity, communication, monsters, nonsense, gender performance, neurodivergence, the patriarchy, madness, and misfittery.
I made this place out of complete exasperation with social media and the internet circa 2025. This is my inner world - it’s a joyful, colourful, nonsense place and I hope you’ll stay a while and walk the labyrinth.
The whole point is to get lost - but if that freaks you out you’ll find a map to guide you here.
I send letters every week or so with updates on what’s new. They’re really the portal to understanding this world and becoming a part of the inner circle - you can sign up here.
The Official Version
Zuzu (aka Elinor Trier) is a neuroqueer AuDHD artist, writer, podcaster, YouTuber, dopamine dealer, and founder of Zuzu’s Haus of Cats, where she creates artwork that celebrates ‘otherness’, reminding you that you're not the 'odd one out', you're 'one of a kind’. Her weekly newsletter is the stuff of legend and has been described as 'a safe space to be exactly who you are'.
Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, her artwork is in private collections worldwide, and her ideas have been featured in multiple media outlets, including the Nautilus Silver Award-winning book Creatrix: She Who Makes. She reads ten books a week (the only hint of savant-ism her autism has given her), snorts when she laughs (it’s adorable!), and might actually be a pile of cats in a sparkly trench coat.
