By reframing historical representations of women, Alexandra Hopf opens a space to reconsider identity, authorship, and representation. 

Artist Alexandra Hopf explores creative processes across multiple media by weaving fact and fiction into layered networks. Her work reflects on the situated nature of contemporary art, moving between memory and utopian projection. Through gestures of revealing and concealing, she invokes traces of the past only to destabilize them, collapsing future and history into nonlinear temporalities. Her installations form shifting, intermediary spaces rather than fixed systems. References emerge and dissolve, suggesting that new visions arise from experience even as the past is continually questioned.

In The Women of My Life, Hopf transforms seventy-seven portraits from the 1930 photography book Unsere Zeit in 77 Frauenbildnissen into reverse glass paintings, weaving them into a contemporary anthology shaped by personal memories of influential women from the 1970s to the 1990s. With this book, Hopf creates a space for reinterpreting historical narratives, offering a fresh perspective on the evolving constructs of identity and representation.
