About Floor Hofman
The stories I tell are small and personal. I aim to shine a light on that which seems ordinary and is therefore overlooked.
At the same time, the stories cover bigger, mostly social cultural subjects such as social resilience, changes in romantic ideals and the changing speed of the society. They can be told in different ways: Documentary film, photography, drawings or audio.
The complexity of the reality meaningful and worth to try to understand. That’s why I isolate the intimate and unruly details out of the lives of the people I interview. I observe from a distance, but with a warm heart.
