"The minehead constructions for hauling the coal to the surface called tipples, are made from simple materials, adapted to the particular topography, the location of the coal beds and the conditions to removal of the coal".
Fantastic images, the tipples alter in shape and size. I made some sketches of the constructions. I am curious that each construction was different in shape and form but were all built to do the same thing. The combination of pieces that form the tipple looks random but obviously serves its purpose. They are intriguing as I can't believe some of them can perform sufficiently.
Becher on Becher by Kahn
"Idris Kahn's super imposed photographs, trade on a rigourous methodology of Bernd and Hilla Becher. Khan's photographs superimpose each photograph from one of the Becher's series onto one another to form a single photograph". http://www.gravestmor.com/wp/archives/2006/06/25/becher-on-becher-by-kahn/
