Summary:

The interpretation of the relationship between architecture and photography proposed by Lidor Gilad and Giovanni Battista Balestra, teachers of the course of Digital Representation held at the Mendrisio Academy of Architecture in 2013/14 and in 2014/15, is a different and innovative one. The teachers have seen in the photographs of Bernd & Hilla Becher - especially the series on gas tanks, water towers and winding towers - something that goes beyond representation and have therefore proposed an alternative approach to photography to their students: no longer a point of arrival, but the beginning of a process of analysis, deconstruction and reconstruction on the basis of architectural rules aimed at finding and realizing a new subject. In the book Becher's Anatomy the documentary aspects of Bernd and Hilla Becher's photographs are analyzed and deconstructed, with the aim of refocusing the view on the intrinsic characteristics of the artifacts investigated by each student. Becher's Anatomy, in correlation with the photo books on display, leads the way to new perspectives and interpretations of Bernd and Hilla Becher's photographs.
