Description
by Gestalten (Editor), Stefano Perego (Editor)
A photographic exploration of modernism's fearless ambition and enduring impact.
Once hailed as icons of radical experimentation and creative ambition, the concrete structures of the mid-to-late 20th century, which have become a defining subject of Stefano Perego's photographic exploration, continue to stir both admiration and debate. Through the scope of his lens, Perego invites readers to reflect on the era that has shaped these relics of visionary modernism and the ideals they embody.
Whether celebrated landmarks or forgotten outliers, enduring symbols of artistic ingenuity or imposing expressions of misappropriated power, Concrete, mon amour unpacks the intricate narratives embedded in these architectural giants. It considers their paradoxical nature: raw yet deliberate, unadorned yet unapologetically evocative.
By capturing their permanence in diverse settings - urban or remote, pristine or weathered - this book compels a deeper interrogation into what sustains their continued relevance - their sheer monumentality, the audacity of their forms, or the honesty of their materials. Ultimately, the significance of these once-revolutionary visions lies not in answers but in the questions they leave behind.
