Every...Bernd And Hilla Becher Gable side Houses
2004
A haunting and layered photographic work, Idris Khan's piece superimposes every image from Bernd and Hilla Becher's iconic typological study of gable-sided houses into a single, densely compressed composition. The result is a ghostly, dark accumulation of architectural forms that simultaneously reveals and obscures the individual structures, collapsing time and repetition into one unified image. Khan pays homage to the Bechers' documentary legacy while transforming their systematic approach into something deeply atmospheric and meditative.
