Peep-Hole Sheet #19: Judith Hopf

Considering the relationship between the bodily reality of objects, artistic practice and a possible language to reconnect these increasingly distant universes, Judith Hopf takes her clue from “The Letter of Lord Chardos,” a text composed by Hugo von Hofmannsthal in 1902. Tuning the “deafening silence” triggered by the crisis of Chandos to her own, Hopf directly addresses readers to state her skepticism, but also to highlight the hypothesis of a hidden language that might resolve the impasse produced by a widespread lack of attention regarding artistic practice.
