Elsa Hoffman

Below is “Ocean Panel (12/7/23-8/17/24 Marshallberg, NC)” in a really terrible photo which I took at Queen Street Magic Boat (where it was part of Death Planted a Garden). It is part of an ongoing project where Elsa bolts sheets of new steel onto a seawall at the North Carolina coast. The panels are submerged then revealed by tidal waters; the water, salt and air transforms the industrial surface; the metal becomes a clock, a landscape and map or graph of time passing in all its beauty and inevitable decay. According to their statement for the show catalog l, Elsa sees their role in this project as a curator or choreographer; setting a stage and parameters to capture the visual translation of a period of time; this project is a practice in embracing precious moments and also ritualistically letting them go.
