Analog photography, fire, and chance. Works that cannot be repeated.

Burn Art Werk von Sven Hoffmann

Hoffmanns Atelier is the studio of Berlin photographic artist Sven Hoffmann. This is where Burn Art is created: photographic art in which analogue film is worked with fire. Flame, heat and chance change every negative in its own way, so no two works are alike. The works are available as originals or in limited editions, in various sizes and finishes. On request, Sven Hoffmann also creates commissioned works based on your own motif.

In the center of the garden city Frohnau, 13465 Berlin

Sven Hoffmann

Mechanic, carpenter, photographer. After years in Thailand and Costa Rica, Sven Hoffmann has been working as a freelance artist in Berlin since 1998. His technique of Burn Art came from the search for his own form of expression.

"Art begins for me where

material leaves its original form."

Your motif, my technique

A special person, a familiar place, or an old negative. From your motif, I will develop an individual work idea together with you, photographed on-site or from existing images.
