SWISS BUNKERS - LEO FABRIZO |
Thursday, 08 December 2005 |
Who would have thought that peaceful Switzerland could have produced camouflaged architecture during the cold war: fake upper-middle-class houses, fake farmhouses, fake rocks, etc. To believe it is to see it in Leo Fabrizio's book: Bunkers. For the past four years Leo Fabrizio has been busy documenting the Swiss bunkers through photography.Fabrizio's gathered images of the most spectacular Swiss fortified structures, which thanks to sophisticated camouflage techniques and characteristic Swiss care, resemble real theatre sets. While the present tendency is to forget about these works, even to disown them given their disuse, the 29 year old photographer's aesthetic approach aims to show them from a new angle. by Yvan Rodic
