Its a classic black-and-white photographic study of industrial buildings, mine shafts, blast furnaces, cooling towers, water towers, silos, and gas tanks. Each image is centered and frontally framed, its parallel lines set on an even plane. There are no human figures, nor are there birds in the sky. The result is a treasury of precisely functional architectural forms, a sublime example of conceptual artistic practices, and a series of "perfect sculptures of a bygone industrial age."
