Last chance: Guided tours of the renowned photographer’s work
Darmstadt. The exhibition "Candida Höfer. Photographs" at the Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt runs only until Sunday, August 24, 2025. Featuring 53 works, it offers a comprehensive overview of the internationally renowned artist's oeuvre, which has evolved over more than five decades.
Candida Höfer (*1944) is one of the most well-known representatives of the Düsseldorf School of Photography, which she influenced from 1976 onward as a student of Bernd and Hilla Becher. Her large-format photographs of interiors, zoos, and more recent series such as "Lightbulbs" (2021) and "Trees" (2021) demonstrate her precise eye for space, structure, and atmosphere.
The exhibition, which was specially designed for the State Museum, is divided into four thematic areas: Interiors , Zoological Gardens , Light Bulbs and Trees .
