Hobie Minnebreuker
1997, Netherlands
Artist statement
In my work, I explore the complexity of the human body. The body serves as a protective armor for me, an entity that we cherish, hate, care for, and share with others. The armor, which essentially envelops our physical being, can suffer damage, making it even more vulnerable and fragile. My focus lies in exploring how we deal with pain and the uncertainties it brings. I strive to translate this theme into my photographic prints. It is essential for me to make my artistic expressions tangible and physical, utilizing techniques such as Toyobo Etching. In this way, I aim to establish a deeper connection between my work and the viewer, where the physical materiality of my creations reflects the vulnerability of the human body.
