PHILIPP JAMES HOFFMANN – DROMOS
2026-02-16The exhibition centers on the volatile worlds of Motocross and Freestyle Motocross—sports defined by velocity, risk, and spectacle. Rather than documenting these events in a conventional manner, Hoffmann approaches them obliquely, treating competition footage as raw material for a layered and rigorous photographic process.
Working from moving images of MX and FMX competitions, Hoffmann projects selected sequences onto surfaces, isolating fleeting instants from the ongoing rush of action. He then photographs these projections, repeating the cycle of projection and re-photography multiple times. With each iteration, the image drifts further from its origin. Contours dissolve, colors fracture, and the riders’ bodies stretch into luminous apparitions. What began as documentation becomes something far less stable, an arena where time buckles and momentum leaves visible scars.
Exhibition runs through to February 21st, 2026
