Description
During an interview they state, “It is necessary that these things be destroyed when their use is exhausted.
This is purely economic architecture. They build the structure, they use it, they misuse it, they throw it away.”
The choice of types and their articulation reveals some interest in the classificatory systems peculiar to the biological sciences, as in the Linnean system, in fact, they use a hierarchical criterion.
Their photographs do not record human presence, thus excluding, reflections already made by other artists and which place the purely human dimension at the center. What interests Bernd and Hilla Becher is to provide a point of view, a grammar that allows the viewer a correct reading of the structures photographed.
