Tom Hopman

The Albanese dictator Enver Hoxha had 750,000 small domed bunkers built for the defence of his country at the end of the 1960s against a foreign invasion. Today the country is still left with the concrete pocks. David Galjaard recorded in Concresco how the Albanese try to give this lasting memories of the communist history a place: by painting them, let them be overgrown, make them disappear in the beach, make them part of modern new construction or just by ignoring them: in the middle of a square, the farmland, the cemetery etc. Galjaard added interviews to these special landscape photos with witnesses and those who contemplate, creating an original portrait of a quickly changing landscape. 

Galjaard won the 2012 The Aperture First Photobook Award on Photo Paris.  First edition and printing. A print run of 750 copies.

See Parr & Badger The Photobook: volume 3, page 210.
