Incredible Optical Illusion Body Art by Emma Hack

Adelaide-based artist Emma Hack paints naked bodies of models and makes them blend into complex background images designed by Florence Broadhurst wallpaper, to give us the illusion in which the bodies are so well camouflaged.

Emma used a make-up based paint with a brush and sponge to create her artworks.

The job was completed in five stages, starting with the base colours and gradually adding more detail.

Emma also created a car that had been involved in a small crash produced by advertising agency Clemenger BBDO for a road safety campaign by the Motor Accident Commission of South Australia.

The campaign depicts a mangled car that is actually made of carefully positioned made of 17 naked men and women.

"At first we thought we would need 15 people to create the car but it turned out to be 17. That is five women and 12 men."

"I wanted an equal number of men and women but needed the strength and width from men to make the structure work. They were wearing g-strings."

"The inspiration of the design was a low-level speeding crash. The front of the car is quite affected but the back is still in slick condition. We had to make the car anonymous and generic looking."

Emma started with a photo of a crashed car and planned her project by sketching the position of bodies over the top of it.

"Some were really obvious, such as the tyres, face as side mirror and the front bumper as the arm. Then I started piling up the bodies to create."

She designed the car down to the smallest detail, and even made it look like the car had been pranged in a small accident by exposing the 'engine' and leaving the front 'bumper' hanging off.

It took 18 hours to complete the artwork.

"Technically, it's probably the most difficult job I have ever done. It's quite magical how it's turned out."
