In this edition, Candida Höfer presents a precisely composed spatial scene, in which radiator, display case, baseboard, and floor function as equally weighted visual elements. As early as 1992, Höfer captured this location in a series of black-and-white photographs; in 2020, she returned to take a new image in color. Without flash, tripod, or interchangeable lenses, she created images that she herself describes as a “construct with references to reality” – a fitting characterization of her precise, people-free architectural photography.
