\nsituations in a intimate setting – in both large and small formats. Her depictions exist in a state of flux and are a refection and
\nquestioning of our sense of time, resonating with both the future (something about to occur) and the past (a memory)
\nsimultaneously. The work provides a vulnerable description of what happens during intimate and mundane moments.
\nHachtmann weaves together narratives where memory can transpose fact and fiction, and speaks to this ambivalence inherent
\nin the portrayed images, which is a running theme throughout the show. Next to this, the title of the exhibition ‘Haze’ also
\nindicates that the works find their rendering only at a second glance.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2024\/08\/26112437\/Lexia-Hachtmann-Spin-the-Bottle-2023-Oil-on-canvas-80-x-90-cm.jpg\")

\nambivalence in the objects depicted. This makes the audience pose questions towards the work. I like this idea that painting
\ndemands a moment of stillness from the viewer in our busy worlds to be understood, felt or seen\u201d she explains referring to
\n‘Haze’ as being the content of her work as well as a painterly discourse.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2024\/08\/26112500\/Lexia-Hachtmann-Doorway-2024-Oil-on-canvas-190-x-80-cm.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\n‘Off-Screen’ dynamic, which allows the viewer to be in charge to navigate and piece it together for themselves. Hachtmann uses
\nthe close-up frame, boldly cropped scenes, as a vehicle to navigate this notion. Everyday moments and depictions of
\nreoccurring symbols \u2013 like the flower or flame \u2013 offer clues that hint at ideas central to the Vanitas still life and the ‘Carpe Diem’
\ngesture. These act as makers to connect and engage the works in a trajectory to remind the viewer of their own lives; of intimate
\nmoments, of the passing of time, vulnerability, hope and last but not least, the haze of it all.<\/p>\n
\nHachtmann. The work is a nudge to think about and reconnect to personal moments.<\/p>\n
