Reviewed by Samuel Carpenter, Book Buyer, RIBA Bookshops
These remarkable photographs and film stills concern abandoned Cold War military bases in the former East Germany. For the most part they are in a dispassionate, documentary style - '41 Gymnasia' is a series of gaudy, decaying military gyms; '08/26' combines static footage of a disused Soviet base and an operational RAF base. The effect, however, is fascinating and haunting, conjuring up the ghosts of a gigantic, secretive yet now vanished presence, laying bare the remorseless action of time and entropy on even the most monolithic structures. Splashes of colour humanise the machine; the graffito 'Cood bay Forst Zinna' is vivid, vital testimony from the largely undocumented men who fleshed out the Soviet empire. Spellbinding.
