They are welded onto solid wood panels, aluminum plates or thick metal blocks. Thus, the works appear to the viewer as almost three-dimensional and sculptural. “Burn art” is Sven Hoffmann’s elaborate and continuously developed technology for processing his photographic material. 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 onto wood or metal.
