From 20 June to 15 September 2013 the Galleria Borghese and the Soprintendenza Speciale per il Patrimonio Storico, Artistico ed Etnoantropologico e per il Polo Museale di Roma will present the \u201cCandida H\u00f6fer for the Galleria Borghese\u201d exhibition.<\/p>\n

As part of the Contemporary Commissions project, the German photographer\u00a0 Candida H\u00f6fer was invited to document the reconstruction of the original Borghese collection presented in the \u201cThe Borghese Family and Antiquity\u201d exhibition held between 7 December 2011 and 9 April 2012 in cooperation with the Louvre Museum.<\/p>\n

After more than fifty years of history of the techniques of photography, the Galleria Borghese possesses an abundant and often high-quality photographic iconography of both its interiors and its exteriors. But Candida Hofer\u2019s seven large-scale photos seem to present the Museum for the first time, because the protagonists of the photos are not only the extraordinary masterpieces of ancient art that once belonged to the collection, but rather the Museum as a whole: its history, furnishings, works \u2013 all of which make Hofer\u2019s images unique and the exhibition a once-in-a-lifetime event.<\/p>\n

Candida H\u00f6fer\u2019s photographs call forth emotions that depend on the historical background, perspective, and luminosity of the Galleria, revealing original aspects of it and elevating the images to an eternal, absolute sphere.<\/p>\n
