thesis & research_GINNY HWANG: Bart Hess

Bart Hess is exploring several fields that straddle material, animation and photography, these fall
within the commercial and art world.
Bart works in primitive and infinite ways. He works with his instinct and starts by using a material on the body, exploring volumes and ways of re-shaping the human silhouette. In fast speed, expelling all his creative energy.
He is creating imagery that capture future human shapes and new body form’s. Bart is discovering a low-tech prosthetic way for human enhancement.

Hunt for High-tech :
With a Hunt for Hightech Bart Hess made a collection of fake fur that touches on elements of fetishism, human instinct and new animal archetypes. With that collection he did not try to mimic real animal kingdoms but create a fantasy world of his own. The way this started was through the process of imagining fantasy animals; animals that could be genetically manipulated, part robot, part organic, how they would move in their environment and what they felt like to touch.
