Sven Hoffmann is a photographer but he still does something else to his pictures. At first glance, they arouse the curiosity to see how they are created?

It's a pretty complicated, tedious and risky process in which the Berliner artist creates his colorful, vibrant work. The results are great works that resemble paintings. But since they are welded on solid wood panels, aluminum plates or thick metal blocks, they appear to the viewer as more three-dimensional and assume sculptural shape.

„burn art“ is Sven Hoffmann’s elaborate and continuously developed technology for processing his photographic material. He uses analogue photography, exposes and develops his films in his own laboratory. With the help of fire he burns and melts his material carefully and systematically.

This creates bubbles, distortions and color fusions that are effectively incorporated by the artist. The resulting photo paper template is again worked on and finally laminated with adhesives on wood or metal.
