Candida Höfer en Portugal in Barcelona

Candida Höfer (Germany, 1944) its been photografing public interor spaces since the 70's. This are big format photografs of Libraries, Theatres, museums, churches, Palaces, stagesfor social ineraction with a mayor role in knowledge and culture.This are spaces determined by the presence of human beings, full of sings that evidence there existence and there intentions, never the less, appear without these presences in the images.Fruit of this deshumanizing manouver and the great perspective that he takes towards this places, very iluminated eather wth natural r artificial light, the space becomes eep and revealing. The absolute absence of people marks a strong symbolisim as much as in the places as in the objects, that become  a materialization of the complex  human culture relationship
