Linda Hofvander b. 1978

Overview

Working with analogue photography, Linda Hofvander creates spatial metaphors. Her work generates a dialogue with the spectator and brings out a photographic language that is open to interpretation. The absence of narrative brings the viewer into a territory where a new platform for our visual understanding is recreated. A crucial aspect of Hofvander's working method is the process of reduction, with the strive to pinpoint the essence of the analogue medium. In her exploration of the inherent qualities of photography and the possibilities of perceiving time and space on a flat surface, Hofvander captures the core of our perception and the limitations of the medium itself.
