ABOUT ROBERTA FAUST

Roberta Faust, born in 1996 in Hamburg, is a designer-artist trained in the creation of objects, graphics and spaces. In her immersive installations and public space interventions she investigates the border between the lasting and the ephemeral, as well as the collision of the human-made with the natural.
