Italy-Taiwan/ Marta Roberti – through pictures

Rome- and Taipei-based Italian artist Marta Roberti’s work focuses on drawing and video animation that she presented in the form of installation.

Her latest project Nature is Artifactual (2014) is a multimedia installation of hand drawing and light boxes she commenced in her residency at Taipei’s Kuandu Museum of Fine Arts in 2014-2015.  Roberti’s research explores the theme of subjectivity in today’s society, particularly focusing on the relationship between man and nature and the conflict between the artificial and the natural.
