Jun Seo Hahm is a Seoul-based digital animator and designer, known for his delightful fictional creatures that inhabit other worlds. Much of the artist’s work is rooted in his lifelong fascination with the scientific field of biology. In an interview with the publication Massage, he says he actually considers himself to be a reverse-biologist. Instead of studying real creatures in the natural world, he creates new ones and worlds for them to inhabit.

The artist likes to imagine places in which the fabrics of time and space are “editable,” offering new insights into how biological forms can move and take shape. Aside from convincing textures, many of his creatures offer body parts with purposes and functions that can only be conjectured by viewers.

Metamorphosis - paper, pencil, 2017, 29 X 42 cm

"Metamorphosis" is centered on two beings endowed with divine powers that I have already staged in my previous work, Les Jumeaux. They influence birth, death or rebirth of human beings. The world of the Twins is a deterministic world. The only choice given to humans is to be born in the human world or not. In other words, human life, whatever it may be, good or bad, is absolutely legitimate, saved, or forgiven by the Twins. But humans forget it at birth. Therefore, everyone move through life oscillating incessantly between hope and disappointment.…

As an artist, I create an imaginary world. Design is central in my creation and the final form takes the shape of a book. My childhood dream-world is my main source of inspiration. This world revolves around the figure of the Twins, they influence birth, death or rebirth of humans.
