The Becher's were fascinated with the design of buildings and industrial structures. The images shown were shot on a large format camera, to capture the scale of the buildings along with great detail. . The Bechers' goal is to create photographs that are
concentrated on the structures themselves and not qualified by subjective interpretations. so with this in mind, they used identical composition and lighting throughout the series to make the series flow evenly. The viewer is key when displaying these works. From a distance they look identical, whereas if you look closer you will the variations in the structures and buildings. The buildings do mirror each other, but they are archival in terms of documenting these places. The thing about these projects is that they can be ongoing. There's more of the same out there to shoot and add to the series.
