Autobiography (2), Bernd & Hilla Becher

German artist duo Bernd and Hilla Becher, also known as the Becher, are amongst the most influential photographers of the 20th century. They are the parents of the famous Dusseldorf School of Photography in the 1970’s to which Andreas Gursky, Candida Höfer, Thomas Ruff or Thomas Struth belong. The Becher are notorious for their consistent typological photographs of industrial buildings in different regions of the world. In this video from the series “Contacts-Portraits of Contemporary photographers” Bernd (who died in 2007) and Hilla talk about their life and evolution of their work.
