Oran Hoffmann's art engages with the gap between the human gaze and the gaze of the camera, as well as with the relation between appearance and disappearance. In his works the blind spot of photography becomes the blind image. His photographs interact with the camera which sees and shows what is not seen outside of its mediation. The camera documents what he presented before it: sculptural objects, assemblages of materials, and objects he created especially for this purpose. His works, organized as series, hint at typological photography and the traditional perception of photography as capturing a certain moment, yet they deliberately refrain from using digital technology.
