Every … Bernd & Hilla Becher Spherical Type Gas Holders
2004
A dense, shadowy composite image emerges from the layering of every photograph from Bernd and Hilla Becher's iconic typological study of spherical gas holders. Khan's meticulous superimposition of the images collapses the Bechers' systematic documentation into a single, ghostly form that simultaneously reveals and obscures the industrial structures within. The result is a meditation on repetition, memory, and the tension between collective archiving and individual perception.
