{"product_id":"candida-hofer-in-mexico","title":"Candida Höfer in Mexico","description":"\u003cdiv\u003eMexico as Seen by the Master Photographer Candida HöferIn 2014, Candida Höfer (b. Eberswalde, Germany, 1944; lives and works in Cologne) traveled through Mexico and photographed the interiors of old and new libraries, theaters, churches, poorhouses, and museums in nine cities. Generally organized by symmetry around a central axis, the compositions show deserted rooms, a characteristic feature of Höfer's work. The best-known exponent of the school of Hilla and Bernd Becher, who taught photography in Düsseldorf, she pursues her personal vision of the photographic representation of public spaces; beyond the functional significance of the settings, the pictures from Mexico convey a sense of timelessness and resistance to change. Other motifs and perspectives reveal a \"new\" Candida Höfer at work: old-fashioned offices, weather-beaten walls, and simple bodegas as well as a few deftly captured details of façades and floors.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAutorenportrait\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eUta Grosenick, geb. 1960, Studium der Kunstgeschichte, Germanistik und Theaterwissenschaften, lebt seit 1996 als freie Herausgeberin und Autorin in Köln.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWeitere Angaben\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eBuch (Hardcover), Deutsch, 144 Seiten\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Weltbild.ch: Bücher \u0026 Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65899902140765,"sku":"K058352847","price":41.3,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0911\/8915\/0045\/files\/5835284700001A.jpg?v=1789195299","url":"https:\/\/weltbild.ch\/products\/candida-hofer-in-mexico","provider":"Weltbild.ch Bücher \u0026 Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
