Candida Höfer, Martin Kippenberger

The curator in his essay and the two artists in their work have one thing in common: the question of space. In the 1990s, Kippenberger had the idea (documented here through drawings and a poster) of an underground network encircling the whole world. Opposite this, H+fer's photographs show such interiors as MoMA, an underground station in Oslo, and the German pavilion at the Venice Biennale, all absent of any human presence.
