This exhibition marks Simon Berger’s first solo show in London with HOFA Gallery.
Using a hammer to strike tempered glass, Berger creates portraits through controlled fractures. Each impact generates a network of cracks that collectively form an image. Berger invented this method, developing a process that transforms destruction into precision and impact into clarity.

At the center of this exhibition are Berger’s female portraits, a recurring subject that situates his practice within a complex history of portraiture. From Renaissance painting to modern photography, the female face has often served as a site of idealisation, projection, or power. Berger’s portraits resist these conventions.
