Bulgaria: another point of view by Bruno Klomfar – The Eye of Photography

The architectural structures of the 1960s and 1970s , a manifestation of large-scale utopic object built almost entirely of concrete, have inspired Austrian photographer Bruno Klomfar to create the PAST FUTURE series. An adventure and exploration of an age then oriented toward the future, now stealing away from the past. His travels take him to cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Bratislava, Brussels, Paris, Milan, London and Zurich, where he not only follows the icons of architectural history but also take interest in emblematic buildings threatened with destruction due to omissions in the architectural heritage preservation acts. Projecting “past future” onto the present state of those architectural sites and the functions that they perform allows various layers of time to coexist complexly intertwined.
