Question: Female photographer of libraries?

Help identifying a specific photographer who photographs libraries? I think she's female and may be German. I do have one of her photos...

Thats all I have. I recall a website with many photos she had taken of different libraries around the world - academic, government libraries, etc.

Luckily, I did download one photo and still have it on my drive. Unluckily it had the unhelpful title of 121232.jpg. Here it is.

Any help in identifying this woman would be much appreciated!

More here from the recent ICA Philadelphia exhibition. If you're up for some travel, the exhibition is going to be in Provo, Utah at the BYU Museum of Art until January 6, 2007, and then Knoxville, TN from February to May. The prints are stunning and very large. Beautiful.

Cool, there was a mefi post. Actually, I didn't. I saved this file about 6 months ago or so. I was researching some architect (I forget who) and ended up at her by following some link somewhere...
