[ FINN WITTROCK, CISMALE, HE/HIM ] — Have you met [ FRANTIŠEK "FRANZ" KUST ] ? [ HE ] is a [ 30 ] year old [ CURATOR ] who resides in [ WILLIAMSBURG ]. I’ve heard that they are said to be [ BEGUILING & BRIGHT ], but can also be [ NARCISSISTIC & EGOISTICAL ].

born in east berlin to czech parents. they moved to the german democratic republic to teach classical music.

his name is františek in honor to his great-grandfather, an acclaimed bohemian pianist, but everyone calls him franz.

he grew up in an ever-changing berlin. then, moved to new york city in his mid-twenties to pursue a master's degree in critical and curatorial studies at columbia university.

franz may sound like a pretentious asshole (which he definitely is), but he's also passionate about art history and a huge nerd overall.

he's now working as a curatorial assistant at a small contemporary art gallery in brooklyn.

eloquent words, well-fitting suits, and good looks can only get him so far. but he is not interested in maintaining a meaningful or stable romantic relationship. he's pretty vain, superficial, only cares about what today has to offer, and fools around too much. aka a fuckboy. he is gay but more than often flirts with girls just for fun and because he can.

back in berlin, franz used to live with his boyfriend. the only person he's ever loved. he refuses to talk about him and believes he'll never be capable of falling for someone like that ever again.
