Idris Khan (The Photograph as Document)

 This is the work of Idris Khan, who works with reappropriated works from other people, the example I’m using is of Berndt and Hilla Becher who create typologies of old water towers, Kahn took these and layered them to create one image that changes the original work and create it into something different, and a completely new piece of work, he also done this with several other works and is he main way of working, I kind of like this style it’s interesting the idea of making someone else’s work into your own by changing it, it also creates some interesting concepts, which is something I’m going to have to research more for a current project.
