Conversation with the artist Lisa Hoffmann

Lisa Hoffmann’s body of work is based on photography, video, and applied research. She composes fictional works that tell fragments of (his)stories.
Intuitive encounters and solitary or group observations are tools that Hoffmann uses to create images of the places she passes through, cultivating esthetically sensuous narrations that also bear messages.

During her residency at Montbrun-les-Bains, Lisa Hoffmann will collect anecdotes – ones that connect us to places, stories, people, ones that re- or un- enchant memory - both individual and collective. Gleaning and gathering transitory moments, she re-animates far-off realities, with the aim of creating a transitional story, which forms the heart of her project, which will be presented at KOMMET ¬– Lieu d’art Contemporain (Lyon) in March 2023.

Lisa Hoffmann has taken part in several international exhibitions. She presented her work in 2021 in the collective exhibition Streetlight, Roman Susan Art Foundation, Chicago, US; in adaptation and transition during the Photography Biennal of Porto (2019); at the Hamburg Triennial of photography (2018); and at the BBB centre d'Art (Toulouse, 2016). Her films have been shown at the Tampere film festival (2022), at the Hamburg Kurzfilm Festival (2021) and at the Rotterdam Architecture Film Festival (2021).
