entry description
For years I photographed monuments from former Yugoslvia and brutalist buildings throughout the Balkans. The term “brutalism” coms from Le Corbusier’s definition of “beton brut”, concrete. Most of the images of the blocks were taken in Belgrade. Walking around the blocks I realized that these buildings were backgrounds to various micro-worlds. Life had its full cycle within the blocks. I could see schools, playgrounds, shops, bars, restaurants, offices, funeral agencies and drug dealers. With Blokovi, I felt compelled to create “social architecture”.about the photographer
