Artist's Biography – (50-75 words): Candida Hofer was born in 1944 in Germany. Her work utilizes large-format photographs of empty interiors in society. She focuses on the architecture of the spaces and turns them into works of art. Her work has been exhibited in several museums throughout the world. She sets up the compositions focusing entirely on the natural design elements of the architecture.







Personal Reaction – (50 – 75 words): I think that her work is beautiful. I love that she focuses on the architecture and does not feel it necessary to include people. I think that the she has chosen very interesting spaces to photograph in that the elements of design at work are intriguing. I wish that there were more places like the ones that she visited around here because the places she has captured with her images are remarkable.
