The Grain Elevator Series features five photographs of French grain storage buildings, each captured with a frontal and uniform perspective. The Bechers’ methodical approach—consistent lighting, framing, and distance—transforms these utilitarian structures into rhythmic compositions. Through typological comparison, individuality and standardization coexist, revealing both the logic and beauty of industrial design. The series stands as a quiet monument to a vanishing industrial landscape, recording a past that once embodied modernity and progress.
