Scaffolding

As students of the BIA will know there is a lot of renovation work being done at the BIA at the moment.  Is it just me or is there something very interesting about scaffolding??   It reminds me of a drawing in space.

Scaffolding also reminds me of the black & white photographs of the German photographers - Bern & Hiller Becher.

Teleskop Gasbehalter, Schoneberg, 1992

To create these works, the Bechers travelled to large mines and steel mills, and photographed the major structures.  I find the drawing quality of these photographs quite compelling.   If you're interested in finding out more about these photogaphers here is a link to an exhibition they had at Moma in New York, in 2008.  Moma Exhibition
