Susanna Lakner was born in Budapest, Hungary in January 9, 1960. After her high school diploma she did an apprenticeship in the printing industry as retoucher and reprophotograph. In the following she studied typography and graphic design at the Academy of Applied Arts (today Moholy-Nagy University) in Budapest, and worked as packaging-designer for some years.
Since 1989 she has been living in Stuttgart, Germany. Since 1995 she has been active in the Mail Art network, using her pseudonym Planet Susannia. In 2000 she began publishing „22“, an assembling mail art magazine, and began making collages, artistamps, artistbooks, and objectboxes.
In 2007 she became connected to the Arnolfini Archive (Ira Horváth & Ervin Zsubori) by the artist Borbála Kováts and the photographer János Vargha and through the participations on the Arnolfini Festivals she striked up friendships and creative collaborations with some members of the collective.
