Choreographies by Linda Hofvander

Nyhet: 2012-02-10

To close in on the mundane world, a bit from the side. To make photography choreography. I spell her name Magda as a cinematograper, in the portrait of her. I walk back and forth to the window to make the line of the horizon match from the point of the camera. The usual implication of size – the matchbox – is a model without any reference in the room. The ingrained registration eye of photography is disturbed. The magic penetrates and the board floats between the gestures of her hands. The folded paper as a set piece of a corner creates rooms that are only in the photograph.

I try out the documentary and fictional elements in the photograph. My work revolves around the photographic image, its reality and building of illusions. By twisting what is recognizable in settings and situations, I want to draw attention to how we perceive and experience our environment through the media - the conventions and categories that form the basis for understanding, or misunderstanding, the world around us. Photographic truth spills over into reality and becomes part of it.
