“Bernd and Hilla Becher have been making photographs together for over 40 years. Their black-and-white prints are almost exclusively concerned with nonarchitectural industrial constructions, the sort that are engineered rather than designed. By grouping photographs of similar structures in grid configurations, the Bechers seek both to establish that these structures constitute a distinct category or ‘typology’ and to show the range of variation that occurs within any given typology. Photographed in the winter months and under gray skies, the buildings reveal their essential physical being.
In their first full-length interview ever, Bernd and Hilla Becher talk about the collaborative project that has occupied them for more than four decades: photographing and classifying the industrial structures that are even now vanishing from the modern landscape.”

Is your bicycle gone?
Maybe it's in the bike rack on Israel's Square.
We moved it to be on the safe side.”

“once you start tuning in to the cosmos, the cosmos starts opening up like a treasure chest full of precious gems and jewels. and once you start tuning in to stars, for example, they just don't twinkle out there in kind-of a star-white, star-bright color. they're cinnamon colored, they're blue, they're orange, they're lavender, they're scarlet, they're greenish, they're composed of different molecules, they have different energetic processes going on. and, taking in these photons as they come in, through your eyes, again into your body, into your mind, into your central nervous system, there's great inspiring exhilarations that you can tap into.” — thomas ashcraft
