The imposing presence of architecture captured in the absence of humans: that is the defining characteristic of the photographs with which Candida Hofer (b. 1944, Eberswalde; lives and works in Cologne) has risen to international renown. In 1992, she captured the Kunsthistorisches Institut der Rheinischen Friedrich- Wilhelms-Universitat Bonn in ten analogue black-and-white pictures that have not been on public display. In 2020, Hofer returned to the institute to take more pictures using a digital camera. The two series now make their public debut in the institute's halls and are gathered in this book. Undertaking a historically and aesthetically captivating comparison, Hofer probes the ways in which university life has changed over almost three decades.
