Ugo Dehaes

Moving Skin est la première sculpture cinétique d'une série qui brouille la frontière entre le corps réel et le corps artificiel. L'installation alterne entre un robot recouvert de peau qui produit des formes amorphes et une vidéo de parties du corps chorégraphiées projetées sur ce robot, ce qui lui donne l'aspect hyperréaliste et la sensation d'un corps humain.

Ugo Dehaes

Ugo Dehaes started dancing at the age of 18. He began his full-time dance training at P.A.R.T.S., the international school for dancers and choreographers directed by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker. In 1998, Ugo began working as a dancer for Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods. In 2000 he founded the company 'kwaad bloed' (bad blood) and created numerous choreographies with professional dancers, amateurs and children. Since 2018 Ugo shifted his focus and became a choreographer of things, making moving sculptures, a lecture-performance with small robots, a self-learning robot and more.
