About this Item

After a year of research in the archives of the Vasarely Foundation in Aix en Provence, Oran Hoffmann has appropriated the original materials of the large-scale works of the artist Victor Vasarely. He insulated the ceramic tiles, the aluminum pieces and the sheets of paper and then photographed each of these elements separately. Thus he frees himself from the spectacular dimension of the works of Vasarely, we unveil behind the scenes and leads us to the genesis of their creation. With his minimal photographic compositions Oran Hoffmann explores the world of Vasarely and also develops a contemporary interpretation.

About this title

Synopsis

During a year of research at Fondation Vasarely, Aix-en-Provence, Oran Hoffmann meticulously organized and catalogued the original materials that the visual artist Victor Vasarely had employed for his large-scale works. He isolated the ceramic tiles, aluminium pieces, or paper sheets he discovered and photographed each of these elements separately. Oran Hoffman shows and draws us nearer to the source from which artistic work erupts, in the same time his photographic interventions both explores and interprets Vasarelys work.
