Description
The bunkers comprising the Atlantic Wall, built by the Germans during the Second World War as a line of strategic checkpoints ranging from the coast of Norway all the way to France, bear witness to the past. And Gábor Ősz has coaxed something clandestine out of them. Applying the “camera obscura” process, the bunkers’ view slowly inscribes itself onto photographic paper. Photos such as these are not merely snapshots, and their intention is not simply to document. Rather, they depict the daily life of the bunkers as an experience of the present.
