LucyandBart is a collaboration between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess. They explore the art of [body architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/humanise-wall) through their amazing work with fashion, architecture, performance and the body. I am fascinated by the images in the gallery above featuring some of their innovative and cutting edge [body art work](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela). Lucy McRae is an Australian ballerina turned body architect and Bart Hess is a Dutch design forecaster. Together they share a passion for genetic and beauty manipulation through making [creative materials](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folded-echoes) and shooting their own photographic stories of the body’s anthropomorphic fashion. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 44% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Body Art:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new materials and techniques for body art to push the boundaries of creative expression. - **Body Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the integration of architecture and the human body to create innovative and functional designs. - **Beauty Manipulation:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Investigate new ways to manipulate and enhance beauty through genetic modifications and creative materials. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine fashion with body art to create unique and expressive clothing and accessories. - **Architecture:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate body architecture into architectural designs to create interactive and dynamic spaces. - **Performance:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate body art and body architecture into performance art to create visually stunning and immersive experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Performance Art Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bio-pop.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Pop-Up Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodyscape-installation.md) - [Design-Centric Dynamic Artful Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Sculptural Experimental Artforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ladder-series.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md)
