Candida Höfer (1944 Eberswalde) (F)
'Kloster Mehrerau Bregenz I', Chromogendruck auf Papier, 60 cm x 60 cm Fotografiemaß, 84 cm x 84 cm Rahmeninnenmaß, verso signiert, auf einem Aufkleber 1999 datiert, 4/6 nummeriert, betitelt.

Candida Höfer ist eine deutsche Fotografin, die in den 70er Jahren an der Düsseldorfer Akademie bei Bernd Becher studierte. Ihre farbfotografische Arbeit konzentriert sich auf öffentliche Räume, wie Bibliotheken, Hörsäle, Museen, die von der Gesellschaft genutzt werden. Obwohl Menschen in ihren Bildern ausgespart sind, implizierten die Fotos deren Anwesenheit, ebenso wie die jeweilige Geschichte der Räumlichkeiten. Höfers konzeptuelle fotografische Auffassung richtet sich auf die Typologie spezifischer Räumlichkeit, die sich aus dem Vergleich einer Serie erschließt. Auch in diesen beiden Arbeiten der Künstlerin, ist der Blick in einen Raum das verbindende Element der Fotografien. Es ist klar, dass sich Personen dort aufhalten, schließt man nämlich als Betrachter auf sich selbst und erkennt, dass man sicherlich im Laufe des Lebens einen solchen Raum betreten hat. Mit den Büchern in den Regalen wird sofort auf das Wissen abgezielt und die Geschichten, wie eben die zu sehenden Gegenstände ich die jeweiligen Räume gelangt sind.




Candida Höfer (1944 Eberswalde) (F)
'Kloster Mehrerau Bregenz I', chromo print on paper, 60 cm x 60 cm photograph dimension, 84 cm x 84 cm inner passepartout dimension, verso signed, dated on a sticker 1999, numbered 4/6, titled.

Candida Höfer is a German photographer, who studied at the Düsseldorf Academy under Bernd Becher in the 1970s. Her colour photographic work focuses on public spaces, such as libraries, lecture halls, museums, which are used by society. Although people are omitted from her images, the photographs implied their presence, as well as the respective histories of the spaces. Höfer's conceptual photographic approach focuses on the typology of specific spatiality, which is revealed by comparing a series. In these two works by the artist, too, the view into a room is the unifying element of the photographs. It is clear that people are there, for as a viewer you conclude that you have certainly already entered such a room in the course of your life. With the books on the shelves, the focus is immediately on knowledge and the stories of how the objects on display came to be in the respective rooms.
