Interview with Helen Evans of HeHe


HeHe: Undercurrent

Bruges Triennial 

20 May – 18 October 2015

Man-made clouds, flying carpets and
a broken electricity pylon: French-based artistic duo HeHe, comprising
British-born Helen Evans (b1972) and German-born Heiko Hansen (b1970), make
work focusing on the environment and urban space. Their large-scale interventions
are often controversial, but, despite the serious issues being addressed, there
is an element of fun to many of them, and a certain aesthetic beauty to others.
HeHe were invited to take part in this year’s Bruges
Triennial, for which they produced a new work, Undercurrent (2015), which
incorporates sculpture, installation, sound and light. Studio International
spoke to Helen Evans about this and other projects.
