✌🏻💕 We are proud to welcome a new internationally renowned artist to the Jury of the World Championships in Camouflage Bodypainting and Facepainting at the WBF Italy 2026:

🇦🇺 Emma Hack

Emma Hack is one of the world's most celebrated camouflage and bodypainting artists. Her extraordinary work combines body painting, photography, design, and storytelling, creating breathtaking illusions where the human body seamlessly disappears into its surroundings.

Many of you will recognize her work from Gotye's iconic music video "Somebody That I Used to Know", which introduced her unique artistic vision to millions of viewers around the world.

With exhibitions, commissions, and collaborations spanning the globe, Emma Hack has become a leading figure in contemporary body art and visual illusion. Her expertise, artistic eye, and international experience make her a perfect addition to this year's judging panel.

Joining Emma on the jury are two outstanding artists already well known to our community:

🇮🇹 Johannes Stötter (Italy)
🇦🇹 Bella Volen (Austria)
🇮🇹 Silvia Vitali (Italy)

Together, they will evaluate the creations of the world's best camouflage bodypainters and facepainters at the World Championship in Sterzing/Vipiteno, Italy.

Some objects are designed to function.
Others are designed to mean something.

For OKAPA, we transformed the Indigo Havana bottle into a living illusion together with bodypainting artist Johannes Stoetter Art.

This BTS Reel gives a glimpse behind the scenes of the creative process — from painted bodies to sculptural forms, lighting, movement and illusion.
