"I photograph in public and semi-public spaces that date from various epochs. These are spaces accessible to everyone. They are places where you can meet and communicate, where you can share or receive knowledge, where you can relax and recover.

All of the places have a purpose, as for the most part do the things within them."

-- Candida Hofer
