Bernd & Hilla Bercher




The Becher's first started to take pictures like the ones above in 1959. They were intrigued that although the industrial buildings were in some ways unimportant and discarding, they seemed to have great design and attention to detail that when first looking at the building you would miss.

Together the Bercher's went out with a large format camera and photographed the buildings from several different angles but kept in mind that simplicity was they key to the end product being multiple photos put together.

Because the Bercher's kept the same view point and angles for each building they were then allowed to group several buildings together that were similar and display them together In a flowing sequence.
