CANDIDA HÖFER - Sense of Space Trailer / official Trailer

https://vimeo.com/ondemand/candidahoefer

German photographer Candida Höfer studied first film at the Duesseldorf Art Academy with Ole John and since 1976 photography with Bernd Becher. Together with Thomas Struth, Andreas Gursky and Thomas Ruff she was part of the extraordinary "Becher-class", which is internationally best known as the Duesseldorf Photo School.

As one of the first female artists, she became famous with her sensitive and silent photographs of museums, libraries and public interior spaces.

The filmmaker and curator Ralph Goertz was allowed to accompany her since 2003 during different shootings, while she is preparing her retrospective shows in Leverkusen and Düsseldorf, and at her studio in Cologne.
Over the years she did start talking on nearly every single series she made since 1968, when she studied with Arno Jansen in Cologne.
