Cortellucci | Published 2012-06-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeitguised-hyper-trophies-series References: [crackajack.de](http://www.crackajack.de/2012/06/08/hyper-trophies/) & [zeitguised](http://zeitguised.com/61789/556975/home/hyper-trophies) The over-exaggerated body parts surreally flow in the ZEITGUISED Hyper Trophies Series. The portrait films were created by the studio ZEITGUISED, or as its [Twitter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/about-silk) account describes, “the irregular twin of zeitgeist imagineering.” The Berlin-based ZEITGUISED was founded by American sculptor Jamie Raap and German architect. Each video feels like a hallucination, making viewers unsure if it is moving or a figment of imagination. The [endless loop of irregular body parts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-furniture) was a ZEITGUISED collaboration with the Berlin fashion label Franzius. The [motion portraits show off models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portalm-x-virtual-fashion-exhibition) Medea Paffenholz and Kristin Keil wearing the label’s Winter Collection 2012/13. This surreally out-of-this-world project premiered during Gallery Weekend Berlin 2012 in the Stink Temporary Gallery. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 14% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Live Arts](https://www.trendhunter.com/livearts) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Body-enlarging Motion Portraits:** Creating hyper-realistic, surreal videos featuring exaggerated body parts. - **Hallucinatory Visual Experiences:** Using motion portraits to blur the line between reality and imagination. - **Collaborative Artistic Partnerships:** Working together with fashion labels to showcase their collections through unique motion portraits. ### Who This Affects Most - **Film and Video Production:** Employing innovative techniques to create visually captivating motion portraits. - **Fashion Design:** Exploring new forms of showcasing collections through experimental collaborations with artists and filmmakers. - **Art Galleries:** Hosting exhibitions that feature surreal and boundary-pushing video art installations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Anniversary-Celebrating Pop-Up Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bodyscape-installation.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Fluid Function Art Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/optical-flow.md) - [Artful Custom Mirror Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portraits-collection.md) - [Inflatable Vibrant Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forest-dancer.md) - [Human Embraced-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-sculpture.md) - [Emotional Light Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miror-collection.md) - [Digital Archetype Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/christian-rex-van-minnen-1.md)
