[edit] Life
In his youth Hunger worked on motorbikes, restored vintage cars and perfected his own constructions. From the age of 10 his sport was motorcycle trials. He went on to Supermoto and took part in 24 hour endurance racing.
There followed a period of organizing and presenting television productions. Among these were the recent ‘World’s strongest man: Manfred Höberl' event, the Bundesliga football competition and various concerts. He established an agency, and coached his own racing team as well as other performance sports people, for whom he also undertook marketing. Since 2000, Hunger has owned a contemporary art gallery. His specialty is art within construction and town planning, a subject on which he has lectured.
Increasingly, Hunger began to grapple with ‘organic architecture’. An autodidact, Hunger showed a flair for trend-setting concepts and worldview compositions. His forward-looking organic architecture gave him an, at times, controversial name in the field. In 2002 he designed his first museum lay-out. After this came designs for an exclusive office building (2002) and a VIP resort in Manama/Bahrain coinciding with the new Formula 1 racing track (2003).
In 2004 Hunger founded a design lab in Berlin in which he creates pure design as well as new products and technology. 2005 saw the realization of a limited series of a sports car sculpture – “Supersonic”. And in the same year an esoteric sculpture entitled "green coast" was designed, which resembled a bottle and covered 7 floors of living space, a carbon fiber skin forming its shell. At this time Hunger also formed the newspaper “Heartbreaker Planet”.
In 2005/2006 Hunger is working on his largest, interactive sculpture with the working title “Heartbreaker”. By 2007 this art exhibition will be on show, uniting the worlds of racing, art, event and entertainment. One of the items inside the work is a racing track which the public will be able to walk on with audiovisual and “sense and touch” experiences of the world of racing. After a premiere in Berlin the exhibition will tour the world for 2 years. As the man behind the agency créateur visionnaire, Hunger has provided consultancy services since 2004 to partner agencies and industrial enterprises. His specialization in this field is the positioning of exclusive brands as well as the area of branded entertainment.
André Hunger sees himself as an artistic ambassador for a way of global thinking, and as a futurist. His photographic works feature the repeated theme of fusion of man and machine. André Hunger lives and works mainly in Berlin.
