Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic*
Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic* works within and about contemporary art, art history, cultural studies and critical theory. She is interested in queerness, displays of global capital, coloniality and the East, forms of escape, early psychoanalysis as well as politics of memory and war. Hoffner works with video, photography, installation and performance. She* employs means of appropriation such as restaging photographs, interviews and reports, and searches for ways to desynchronise normative belongings of body and voice, sound and image. She* works explicitly against the current domination of corporate aesthetics, images of disgust and horror and the right-winged establishment by insisting on analysis, contextualisation and reflection. Hoffner seeks to introduce temporalities, relations and spaces in-between iconic images and highly performative events of our totalising contemporaneity.
Ana is one of the participating artists of the exhibition From what will we reassemble ourselves (2020), conceived by Anna Dasović and curated by Natasha Marie Llorens at Framer Framed, Amsterdam.
* on the crossroads of who was born 1980 in Paraćin (Yugoslavia), who was moved in 1989, and received capitalist citizenship (Austria) with a new name in 2002.
