Photographs. The series Constructions, Landscapes, Architecture, Bunkers
The most numerous of Becker's series includes hundreds of photographs of Second World War bunkers in Germany. Becker is the author of other urban and natural landscape typologies. Staying apart from the traditional historical representation of landscape, Becker is interested by formal structures and color, in the first place. Each of Becker's works is the result of careful conceptual, formal, iconographic decisions. His photographs, always deserted of human presence, look like thoroughly composed and colored models of stage sets. Becker rarely shows his objects from the point of view of an everyday passer-by. He takes images from a distance which has both technical and conceptual reasons. The exhibition includes Becker's series Constructions, Landscapes, Architecture, Bunkers.
