DESCRIPTION

Published 1975 on the occasion of an exhibition at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, Paris, this catalogue features Virilio's photographic studies, of the ominous yet strangely compelling German bunkers, built on the Western and Northern coasts of France. These ghostly reminders of destruction and oppression, prompted Virilio to consider the nature of war and existence, in relation to both World War II and contemporary times. Virilio discusses fortresses and military space in general, as well as the bunkers themselves, including an examination of the role of Albert Speer, Hitler's architect, in the rise of the Third Reich. An influential book. 1st edition. Photographs and text by Paul Virilio.
