A model for Hofer’s concepts is the group of works developed since 2011, the positive/negative exposures, in which, in a purely analogue process, a positive and a negative image of the same motif – twisted, shifted and mirrored in relation to each other – are exposed to each other. The most prominent material properties of inversion and transparency are thus used to superimpose the image with a negation of itself, whereby the aspect of conditionality strongly characterises the works: Every form defining the image is necessarily present as both light and dark. The exhibition Material and Method at Galerie Marenzi will include not only these, in part large-format positive/negative exposures, but also spacefold photo sculptures (UV direct printing on aluminium), text sculptures (text net works made of permanently elastic silicone casting) and various wall objects (acrylic on aluminium).
