Johannes Stoetter is an Italian visual artist who participated in Series 14 of Britain's Got Talent.
He auditioned with a set of models who he had painted in such a way that, when held in a certain pose, they appeared as if they were sea mammals. The audition was covered by a monologue from Sir David Attenborough on the subject of the pollution of the oceans, and slowly each 'animal' was revealed to be a painted person. Alesha described the act as 'Very powerful', with Amanda adding 'It's unique'. Stoetter advanced onto the following round, however failed to reach the Semi-Finals.

About the history of body painting
Body painting has a long history in the development of humanity from the Stone Age (possibly even earlier) to the present day. In fact, it originally served as jewelry, but it often also served the function of conveying signals, for example to indicate sexual maturity, mood or even warlike attitude to other members of a tribe. Body painting thus partially replaced the missing signal colors that are often naturally present in other groups of the animal kingdom, such as in birds. But body painting can also be an expression of artistic creation.
Body painting in modern arts and as optical illusions, e.g. as animal imitations to represent our biodiversity
At this point I would like to introduce the Italian artist Johannes Stötter in more detail. I do this as someone who works artistically myself, but also as someone who is committed to biodiversity research as a biologist. Stötter is known, among other things, for his impressive and sometimes even moving animal motifs, which are usually made up of the painted bodies of several people.
