Cornelius Tittel: "High precision industrial age souvenirs (on Bernda and Hilla Becher)," signandsight (Sept. 2, 2005), rpt. from Die Welt am Sonntag (Aug. 21, 2005)
An interview with Bernd and Hilla Becher, published in 2005. The Bechers were photographers who spent most of their career documenting the disintegration of industrial economies -- they photographed blast furnaces, water towers, limekilns, coal bunkers, and gravel pits. They also trained a number of luminaries including Andreas Gursky. They described their work as an effort to document "the sacred buildings of Calvinism."

Calvinism rejects all forms of art and therefore never developed its own architecture. The buildings we photograph originate directly from this purely economical thinking."
