The British-German art collective HeHe consists of Helen Evans (b. 1972, Welwyn Garden City, UK) and Heiko Hansen (b. 1970, Pinneberg, DE). They are based in Paris. HeHe explores the ‘undesired needs’ of people : health, security, communication, energy and the environment. In their practice they confront and expose the implications and hidden dimensions of ecological threats. They also play with the relationships between the microscopically small and the gigantically large. They often cause symbols and metaphors to converge with daily reality. The collective shapes technology, designs art, abuses methods and techniques and opens up new vistas. In short, HeHe forges the past and fakes the future.
