Description

Bernd and Hilla Becher's almost 50 year collaboration constitutes the most important project in objective and conceptual photography today. With this volume, grain elevators join the list of building types documented by the Bechers in their studies. These towering structures are an impressive sight in the flat, vast landscape of the world's granaries. Scooping, pouring and spitting, they both illustrated and inspired Le Corbusier's idea of buildings as functioning machines. The photographs of grain elevators in this volume were taken in Germany, Belgium, France and America.
