Lecture Florentijn Hofman ROTTERDAM, NETHERLANDs

The work of Hofman is known for integrating, intriguing and interactive installations into public space. Obviously he changes with great joy between performative (public) art and the domain of the sculpture (only to mention a few of his used media) and has a strong wish to amaze and making life a little much more fun. ÂŤI am creating my projects for a particular space and pay much attention to the context. But the purpose of my works is to change people perception of space. Most of my works are short-lived and it really matter because if the object is being built for a long time, people get used to it and eventually stop noticing. But if the project is temporary, it does not have time to became boringÂť - says Florentijn Hofman.
