Prison Cell at Parkhurst, England, from the series "Life inside British prisons” ", 1974
© Evelyn Hofer / Galerie m Bochum | | | | | | | The exhibition "Evelyn Hofer. Encounters with the Camera" shows images of the photographer, who is born in Marburg, Germany, in 1922. Hofer immigrated to Spain with her family in 1933 and later trained as a photographer in Switzerland. From the mid-1940s, she lived mainly in New York, where her work appeared in various major magazines such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. | | | | | | | | | Evelyn Hofer
Davima Williams, Wool Winder, Wales, 1964
© Evelyn Hofer / Galerie m Bochum | | | | | | | In addition to these commissions, Hofer subsequently composed numerous photographic essays and extensive city portraits – of Washington, New York, London and Dublin, among others. Her subjects for these works were women, men and children from different social milieus and occupational groups, with a focus on the unspectacular and everyday. Meeting them with an unembellished gaze, her portraits elicit a captivating magic. Their apparent casualness and fleetingness are a fallacy. A true perfectionist, Hofer prepared and thought through almost every shot in advance. With her keen sense of colour, form and space, Hofer created timeless photographic 'encounters' that continue to touch us in their intensity. | | | | |

Leonid Breshnev, Willy Brandt, Bonn, 1973
© Barbara Klemm | | | | | | | Their photographs from the second half of the 20th century are documenting people in everyday life as well as in exceptional situations, showing private and political, street scenes and interiors and are the result of different photographic concepts. What unites them is their interest in the people they depict as well as their living conditions, which are both at the heart of the images. Whether the photographs are the consequence of a brief, spontaneous encounter or that of a long-standing examination, they all convey a closeness to the people who are their subjects and a meeting at eye level. At the same time, they all show an outstanding power of observation and the mastery of photographic portraiture which also characterises Hofer’s work. | | | | | | | | | Sibylle Bergemann
