Au cours de leurs 40 ans de carrière, Bernd et Hilla Becher ont créé leur propre typologie architecturale en photographiant des bâtiments dans un style unique. «Basic Forms» représente le point culminant de leur carrière. Bien que le sujet ne soit pas glamour - puits de mine, hauts fourneaux, tours de refroidissement, châteaux d'eau, silos et réservoirs de gaz - la passion des Becher pour leur travail imprègne ces photographies de beauté et de solennité. Les Becher ont limité les conditions de chaque photographie en les prenant tôt le matin, par temps couvert, afin d'éliminer l'ombre et de répartir la lumière uniformément. Chaque image est centrée et encadrée frontalement, ses lignes parallèles sont placées sur un plan pair. Il n'y a pas de figures humaines, ni d'oiseaux dans le ciel. Le résultat est un trésor de formes architecturales précisément fonctionnelles, un exemple sublime de pratiques artistiques conceptuelles et une série de «sculptures parfaites d'une époque industrielle révolue». During their 40-year career, Bernd and Hilla Becher created their own architectural typology as they photographed buildings in a unique style. 'Basic Forms' represents the culmination of their career. Although the subject matter is unglamorous-mine shafts, blast furnaces, cooling towers, water towers, silos, and gas tanks-the Bechers' passion for their work imbues these photographs with beauty and solemnity. The Bechers restricted the conditions of each photograph-taking them early in the morning, on overcast days, so as to eliminate shadow and distribute light evenly. Each image is centered and frontally framed, its parallel lines set on an even plane. There are no human figures, nor are there birds in the sky. The result is a treasury of precisely functional architectural forms, a sublime example of conceptual artistic practices, and a series of 'perfect sculptures of a bygone industrial age'.
