You’ll likely have seen Extraweg’s work on social media, where his bendy dummies are bound to stop people mid-scroll. Maybe you’ve recognised it in the uncanny faces and bodies found in his music videos for Gorillaz and Bring Me The Horizon. Or perhaps you’ve watched his hypnotic Emmy-winning title designs for Apple TV’s psychological drama, Severance.

The throughline in Extraweg’s practice lies in his attention to physical movement and form. “Abstract and unnatural forms allow me to present human emotions and societal critiques without being too literal, leaving space for individual interpretation,” says Extraweg, whose real name is Oliver Latta.

So it’s interesting but not surprising to learn that before embarking on a creative career, Latta gained a degree in physiotherapy. “Although I never worked a single day in the field, it gave me the space to explore my passion for 3D design – a decision I’ve never regretted. That background gave me a unique understanding of the human form and movement, which continues to influence my work today. No learning is ever wasted – it’s always useful in some way.”
