About
This richly illustrated publication pays attention to the fascinating 'paper universe' by Caroline Hofman (Aachen, 1969). In her three-dimensional compositions of paper and cardboard, Hofman moves at the interface of recognisability and alienation. The unexpected richness of her material is invariably the starting point and guiding principle: how a sheet of paper contains the potential of three-dimensionality and can have a warm, tactile character. Abstract structures, but also springs, tables, chairs and wickerwork; Caroline Hofmans papers - alphabet of shapes - open our eyes to the unexpected beauty of the everyday. And yet her work is free of stories and anecdotes. Hofman strives for an open mind, offering the viewer complete freedom of perception. Her work is still and reduced, but is also a driver of our observation. And therein lies the attraction of her oeuvre: in 'wordless' stories, in the meaningful silence Deze rijk geïllustreerde publicatie besteedt aandacht aan het fascinerende 'papieren universum' van Caroline Hofman (Aken, 1969). In haar driedimensionale composities van papier en karton beweegt Hofman zich op het breukvlak van herkenbaarheid en vervreemding. De onverwachte rijkdom van haar materiaal is steevast uitgangspunt en leidraad: hoe een vel papier de potentie van driedimensionaliteit in zich draagt en een warm, tactiel karakter kan bezitten. Abstracte structuren, maar ook veren, tafels, stoelen en vlechtwerk; Caroline Hofmans papieren - alfabet van vormen - opent onze ogen voor de onverwachte schoonheid van het alledaagse. En toch is haar werk vrij van verhalen en anekdotiek. Hofman streeft naar een open blik, biedt de kijker een volledige vrijheid van perceptie. Haar werk is verstild en gereduceerd, maar is evengoed aanjager van onze observatie. En juist daarin schuilt de aantrekkingskracht van haar oeuvre: in 'woordeloze' verhalen, in de betekenisvolle stilte
