By Meghan Young | Published 2009-09-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jann-de-vries References: [todayandtomorrow.net](http://www.todayandtomorrow.net/2009/09/18/reality/) & [min-style.de](http://www.min-style.de/wirklichkeit-und-ihre-konstruktion.html) Playing with reality can be a fun game, and Jann de Vries has certainly taken to it. With an almost [Picasso](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lego-picasso)-esque technique (minus the paint), he deconstructs what naturally makes sense and reinvents it the way he sees the world. A [digital media artist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripples-collection) based in Germany, the portfolio work of Jann de Vries is extensive. With that much experience undr his belt, no wonder he’s made a name for himself. In addition to posting his [Wirklichkeit? (a.k.a. Reality?)](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeffrey-deitch-art-gallery) collection, I’ve included three other teasers from his oeuvre. That should entice you to check out the rest of his portfolio. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 94% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - 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 - **Deconstructed Reality:** Exploring the concept of deconstructing reality through artistic techniques, such as Jann de Vries' Picasso-esque photography, presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the fields of digital art and photography. - **Experimental Techniques:** Using unconventional and experimental techniques, like Jann de Vries' approach to photography, opens up disruptive innovation opportunities in the creative industries, including art, design, and advertising. - **Reinventing Perception:** Challenging traditional perceptions and reinventing the way we see the world, as demonstrated by Jann de Vries' work, presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the fields of psychology, perception, and visual storytelling. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Digital Art:** The field of digital art can leverage Jann de Vries' deconstructed reality approach to photography to create innovative and thought-provoking artworks. - **Photography:** Incorporating experimental techniques, similar to Jann de Vries' Picasso-esque photography, can lead to disruptive innovation in the field of photography, enabling new visual narratives and artistic expressions. - **Creative Industries:** The creative industries, including art, design, and advertising, can benefit from embracing unconventional approaches, like Jann de Vries' experimental techniques, to create disruptive and impactful works that challenge traditional norms and captivate audiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Reimagined Puzzled Artful Paintings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portrait-of-a-woman-in-a-hat.md) - [Blurry Abstract Photography Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-allusion.md) - [AI-Generated Real-World Transformations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-generated-world.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [AI-Generated Poetic Photo Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emilio-alarcn.md) - [AI-Generated Retrofuturistic Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retrofuturistic-objects.md) - [Abstract Geometric Solo Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/impermanent-state-of-being.md) - [Social Experiment Virtual Apartments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uncanny-spaces.md)
