Candida Ho?fer's In Mexico photographs capture 600 years of architecture

Set to open next month, the In Mexico exhibition brings together the architectural interior photos that Ho?fer shot on a trip across Mexico four years ago.
The Cologne-based photographer toured the country with her camera as part of the Mexico-Germany Dual Year exchange programme. The initiative aimed to share Germany's cultural, scientific, musical and educational projects with the partner country through 2016 and 2017.
Travelling across cities including Mexico City, Oaxaca and Puebla, Ho?fer captured a series buildings dating back to the 1500s.
"Capturing over 600 years of architectural history from her precise perspective, Ho?fer's photographs document not only the physical details of these interiors but also capture the spirit and essence of each space," said Sean Kelly Gallery in a statement.
Among the earliest projects in In Mexico is the National Museum of the Viceroyalty of New Spain, built by the Jesuits in the 1500s. In Ho?fer's image, pink-toned columns are seen beside chunky, golden structures.
Interior shots also capture the ornately detailed structures in the Baroque style, which flourished during the 17th and 18th centuries.
