Khan's _thing_ is superimposing works - every Beethoven sonata, every Turner painting stacked up on top of each other, etc. One of the striking things about the Bechers is their variations on industrial structures, and the stark ways they are the same but different, so it's a pretty deep well for Khan to pull water from. Consequently, there's a whole series of these: "every… Bernd and Hilla Becher Spherical Type Gasholders", "every… Bernd and Hilla Becher Gable Side Houses", and so on.
It made me think immediately also of some photographs I have thought about many times in the last fifteen years despite not having had the sense to go back and LOOK at in a very long time: this "City of Shadows" series by Russian photographer Alexey Titarenko:
Not multiple exposure but rather long-exposure, but capturing some of the same energy of the median whole described by the march of individual more distinct elements.
In particular this one (and its cousins), was etched into my brain at the time, I've realized:
@joshmillard I’ve always maintained the statute of limitations on web content is no more than 7 years. Even if 5% of the readers have never seen it, you’ve reached them for the first time.
@MackReed Oh, for sure. This is entirely my own hangup and in this case not even a hangup it turns out. I could make the same post twice two days apart and it'd be mostly new to the people who saw it the second day. (Though on MetaFilter, specifically, we'd all lose our minds about it being a double. This is probably the core of the hangup.)
