Archival Inkjet print, 24 x 36 in.
Kevin Hoth uses his own photography to create assemblages by slicing the originals and combining them in new ways, sometimes incorporating materials such as paint or string to further alter his compositions. By doing this, the original pictures lose much of their clarity and undergo an aesthetic reconstruction that prioritizes color and embraces abstraction. Each work transforms into an object in its own right, tactile and multidimensional.

I deconstruct, fragment, and then re-synthesize photographic spaces and moments. In my landscape work, I use a mirror to move beyond the traditional singular vantage point in order to merge spaces in-camera. In my instant film assemblage work, I physically disrupt the developing image to make marks in time and create entry points where multiple images and timelines can come together. This work explores image disruption as a transgressive, healing, and synthesizing process.
