Bunker Archeology

Paul Virilio

In Bunker Archeology, urban philosopher and cultural theorist Paul Virilio turns his attention – and camera – to the ominous yet strangely compelling German bunkers from World War II that lie abandoned on the coast of France. These ghostly reminders of destruction and oppression prompt Virilio to consider the nature of war and existence, in relation to both the Second World War and contemporary times.

This is the first English-language translation of the French edition, published in 1975. The author's haunting photographs are accompanied by his analysis of the architecture of war in both philosophical and concrete terms.
