Hyperbeast Lives is a series of photographs which focus on a much more dynamic, colourfully explosive and contextualized version of the creatures Hector Hernandez first introduced in his original Hyperbeast series.

“I imagined that these creatures exist in some other universe, that they roam wild somewhere, like lions or giraffes in Africa. I am simply capturing them in their natural habitats. Then again, I sometimes imagine that these hyperbeasts exist in our own world at some hidden level. They could exist, hidden to us in the same way that atomic and subatomic particles used to be hidden. These creatures could be a part of our world, dancing and living in the same spaces where we exist.”

“I find it fascinating how someone can literally or figuratively put on a mask, be able to express themselves and therefore to be able to reveal so much more. Therefore it has this melancholic idea to it that I feel very attracted to. This is also something that I practice through Jean Poodle. He is my escape at times, times when all I want to do is celebrate life and all the fun things that it has to offer“!
