Concentrating on the essential
It depends on the context whether a phrase is a phrase or simply describes something very accurately. The latter is true when it comes to Lukas Hoffmann’s “concentration on the essential.” In numerous respects, his pictures show the moments of tilt between macro- and microscopic views, between graphics and representation, and between yesterday and today. Or, as he puts it: “I like the moment of ambiguity.” And that is what he focuses on.
Our EEW Art Booklet features a selection of the works created and shares insights into how they came to life.
