Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic

Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic (on the crossroads of who was born 1980 in Paraćin, Yugoslavia, who was moved in 1989, and received capitalist citizenship in Austria with a new name in 2002) is an artist, researcher and writer. She 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 desynchronize 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, contextualization and reflection. Hoffner seeks to introduce temporalities, relations and spaces in-between iconic images and highly performative events of our totalizing contemporaneity.
