“Sven Hoffman is a very special person that I feel so grateful to have crossed paths with. And I hope many more will be crossed along the journey. Photography is about the window on the soul. That is what Sven delivers. Creativity, art and images are subjective. Soul, less so. I have had the privilege of working with Sven. He photographed me, leadership across the whole company and also members of my family. He gets under your skin. He knows. No arrogance, no hype, nothing unnecessary. He’s just damn good.”

“It is a strange unconditional solitude we all live in and from which we try to connect. But is there a way out of this solitude without betraying the secret that makes us unique? Is there a way to turn our inner selves inside out without losing our authenticity to the audience?
What connects us is time. As the image of our lives, in which we place our friendships, our fulfilled and unfulfilled dreams, unlived lives and lived love, family – in the end ourselves. And yet: it is a fleeting image. Its transience tugs at its substance in every moment.
Time is what we are so short of that we don’t even appreciate its value. A unit we have invented to describe impermanence. In this idea, a circle closes: when we talk about impermanence, we talk about the legacies we leave behind. This inner, the immaterial, cannot be captured, but it can be depicted. Through a reflection, time is fixed, it stands still – and in a novel setting of a long take, it can become a true story again.
The experiment of connection is what makes us human and it can only succeed if we look at the time it takes through the focal glass of the lens. When we look at ourselves from the outside. If we let ourselves be accompanied by a reliable shadow that is soon there, soon gone, leaving nothing behind but a proof of our legacy. Of our time.”
