project: hunt for hightech
  project: lucyandbart  
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.

 

LucyandBart is a collaboration between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess described as an instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body. They share a fascination with genetic manipulation and beauty expression. Unconsciously their work touches upon these themes, however it is not their intention to communicate this. They work in a primitive and limitless way creating future human shapes, blindly discovering low – tech prosthetic ways for human enhancement.

project: skin king
  commisioned by  
In collaboration with Walter van Beirendonck
Whether twisting gender, addressing climate change or advocating safer sex, Walter Van Beirendonck's design philosophy has always had a politicised bent naturally, or perhaps unnaturally the animation skin king is no exception. The animation is commissioned by SHOWstudio, Nick Knight.

 

Bart Hess is working for himself exploring several fields that straddle textile, fashion and animation, these fall within the commercial and art world.
