It is a world of fairy tales, theatre and old films that Olga Hoffman enters into and finds her inspiration. Surreal in their intensity, she explores scenes of which the everyday is comprised to extract the multiple and complex strands of human emotion. Like a splash of cold water on the faces of her models, Hoffman is adept at capturing the expression of a split-second before it passes… it is a collection of work that succeeds in crossing the bounds of reality, without ever really letting go, like a childhood rediscovered.
