Berlin-based artist Theresa Schubert explores unconventional visions
of nature, technology and the self. She studied media art at the
Bauhaus-University, Weimar. She combines audiovisual and hybrid
media with conceptual and immersive installations or site-specific
interventions that may include living organisms. Thematically her
works question the relation of humans to their environment and evolvement
of matter and meaning beyond the anthropos.
