Since the 1990s, Judith Hopf has developed a distinct artistic language in the form of sculpture, film, drawing, performance, and stage design. In her works, Hopf addresses social inscriptions and power structures in political and private realms, as well as the impact of visible and invisible architectures, technologies, and objects on the human body and its movements. Often referencing everyday as well as modernist and postmodernist aesthetic vocabularies, and employing materials such as brick, concrete, and glass, her works challenge habitual views, representations, and behaviors.

Judith Hopf (b. 1969 in Karlsruhe, DE) lives and works in Berlin. She is a professor of fine arts at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main.
