Candida Höfer: Memory

Abstract

"In 2014, during St Petersburg's White Nights, the renowned German photographer Candida Höfer was invited by the State Hermitage Museum to visit the city. She spent ten days photographing several of the city's landmarks: the Yusupov Palace, the National Library, the Mariinsky Theatre, Pavlovsk Palace, the Catherine Palace, and the Hermitage itself. The resulting mesmerising works that make up this exhibition at the State Hermitage Museum are the latest in a series of iconic interiors that Höfer has photographed throughout the world over several decades."
