Exhibition maker and writer Jens Hoffmann offers an overview of work by Valeska Soares, focusing on its ephemeral qualities. The talk will specifically address the interchange of space and time as well as text and language that strongly characterize Soares's practice. Key to the artist's work is the recirculation of often discarded or disused objects that are reanimated in highly sensual and poetic installations, inviting visitors to contemplate their own narratives.
