Reinis Hofmanis & Dārta Hofmane

Are you trying to tell me something good or bad? Visual reflections on the present day language and life

Photography, drawing, text 2015


Based on found language – texts, words and conversations. A portrait of today’s language, which allows scope for interpretation. How can it be that we understand one another? Is it possible to free human thought from the constraints of language? Can language think autonomously?
