Abstract
This dissertation analyzes the photographic production of the German, contemporary artist Candida Hoefer (b. 1944). Starting with her earliest projects from the 1960s and 1970s like "Liverpool, " "Flipper, " and Tuerken in Deutschland, " and moving to her famed public interior photographs from 1979 to the present, "Critical Publicity" analyzes the work as an artistic response to contemporaneous discussions about the public sphere and democracy by social theorists like Juergen Habermas, Oskar Negt and Alexander Kluge, Nancy Fraser, and Seyla Benhabib.
