Description:

"What these ashes wanted (2001) places flesh on the poet Ann Carson's words 'death lines every moment of ordinary time.' With this work Hoffman resides in an acutely intimate time, a daily practise of loss lived precariously between the terror of psychic distintegration and the provisional solace taken through public rituals of mourning. 'What these ashes wanted' is not a story of surviving death, but rather, of living death through a heightening of the quotidian moments of every day experience." <55mn>
