Elmar Hess (born 5 October 1966) is a German artist.

His work includes film and video art, photography, installation and objects. Hess interprets interpersonal conflicts as a result of systemic pressure. Often an individual event is brought to mind in the context of historical events.

Life
Hess' youth is marked by visits to the southern English coast. The proximity to the British overseas ports, he developed a strong passion for transatlantic ships. Although this topic is not the focus of his work, countless details and often metaphoric imagery are reflected, especially in his film works.

From 1988, Hess studied at the Stuttgart State Academy of Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg and attended the classes of Katharina Sieverding and Franz Erhard Walther. From 1998 to 2000 he studied Film at the University of Hamburg by Michael Ballhaus and others. Since 2010 he has been teaching at the Academy of Fine Arts, Saarbrücken/GER.

Ellmar Hess lives and works in Berlin.
