huber.huber

Reto and Markus Huber were born in 1975 in Münsterlingen, Switzerland.
They live and work together as the artist duo “huber.huber” in Zurich, Switzerland.

The oeuvre of huber.huber is composed of differing cycles, which stand exemplary for the playful handling with various materials of the artist duo. Their spectrum ranges from charcoal drawings to collages and even sculptural works. At this juncture they emphasize the question of the interdependency between human and nature.
