The works from the series Homo Ludens focuses on the importance of imagination and play in our culture, exploring the function of play as cultural connection. Korfmann states, “Play, like art, is a connection between people.” The work “Swing” 2023 depicts people dancing in Amsterdam’s Oosterpark. A form of entertainment, dance is also packed with cultural and social significance: expressing emotions, celebrating traditions and strengthening communities.
Korfmann’s images are often situated in public spaces. She approaches these locations as biotopes, investigating how humans move within these settings. Seeking to chronicle the memory of a place, she captures a literal portrayal of time. Her images are powerful – in part due to their unusual perspectives – and engage the viewer in the events unfolding there.
