Biography
Born in East Germany, Manuela Höfer took her first photograph
at the age of fourteen. Working for the local newspaper, she
created a portfolio of documentary images capturing 80's life
in East Germany, Poland, Russia, Czechoslovakia and Bulgaria.
In 1989, just months before the Berlin Wall was torn down,
Manuela was among the first to reach West Germany via Hungary.
Her portfolio includes unique shots of the refugee camp where
she was interned in Budapest.
Following a two-year apprenticeship in Bavaria, she studied
photography at the FAMU Academy of Arts in Prague. During this
time, she produced several photographic series including the
St. Petersburg project.
Manuela Höfer's distinctive style earned her the Hasselblad
Fine Art Award in 1995.
