More About Kyle Hoffmann

Question IconWhat inspires you?

The natural world and fundamental hidden phenomena that shapes our human experience. I am constantly fascinated by these mechanisms, the movements of long expanses of time and how these shape and influence our perceived reality.

Question IconDescribe your creative process.

I start with an idea that I want to communicate, then research that concept to the point of photographing. I use film because I like the object making and physical process. A collection can take years to put together from date of conception to actualising in a series of images.

Question IconWho are some artists that have influenced your work?

Hiroshi Sugimoto, Michael Kenna, George Byrne, Franco Fontana, Robert Mapplethorpe, Alfred Stieglitz, Irving Penn, Bill Brant, Georgia O'Keefe, Sally Mann, Daniel Arsham

Question IconWhat is the most important tool when creating your work?

The most important tool would be the intent of the work.

Question IconWhat is the best piece of advice you have been given?

Do the work, you can think all day about it but you can't forget about action! Do the work, work hard, be obsessed and do it.

Question IconWhere do you go for inspiration?

Inspiration comes from everywhere I do, it's the constant flow of experience. Some times it just kind of just materialised out of nowhere and behold there it is! Other times it's much harder and I need to revisit it many times until it makes sense. I spend a lot of time researching other artists, seeing what is happening and where things are going.
