Typology

Typology by definition is a group of images that are linked together in some way, shown individually the images make less of an impact most famously demonstrated by Bernd and Hilla Becher in 1988 Water Towers.
Water Towers
Another example also categorised as Mundane is a collection of the rears of cars taken from the left hand side by Mark Luthringer.



The artist, Mark Luthringer, says, "the typological array’s inherent ability to depict prevalence & repetition make it the perfect technique for examining the excess, redundancy, & meaningless freedom of our current age of consumption."

My thoughts.
Images presented this way give a more impact and meaning than they would as individual images.
