Description:
Recent images of Liechtenstein, from one of the most important representatives of the Düsseldorf School of Photography
German photographer Candida Höfer (born 1944) is a former student of the iconic teachers Bernd and Hilla Becher and is well known for her painstakingly composed interior shots capturing the grandeur of public spaces such as libraries, palaces and opera houses. Accompanying her joint exhibition at Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein and the Hilti Art Foundation, this volume documents her recent series of around 20 photos taken in Liechtenstein between autumn and winter of 2021. The images reflect her ongoing exploration of scenes of cultural life and architecture. Including emails, text messages and notes by those involved in the project, the publication takes the form of a production diary, affording critical insights into Höfer's process, from the initial idea for the show to the final selection of works. Another section documents the exhibition itself, including selected works from the collections of both institutions.
