EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wider Image: Yugoslavias brutalist relics fascinate the Instagram generation. In this print by Marko Djurica, we are transported to the heart of New Belgrade, Serbia, where a mesmerizing scene unfolds before our eyes. The image showcases a row of garage doors outside Block 23 in an apartment neighborhood, serving as a powerful reminder of Yugoslavia's ambitious post-war reconstruction efforts. Following World War Two, under the visionary leadership of Josip Broz Tito, socialist Yugoslavia embarked on an extraordinary mission to rebuild a nation ravaged by conflict. Concrete became the medium through which their dreams took shape - residential blocks, hotels, civic centers and monuments emerged across the country like modern-day marvels. Djurica's lens captures not only the raw beauty but also the enduring allure of these brutalist relics that have captivated today's Instagram generation. The stark lines and geometric forms stand as testaments to human resilience and creativity amidst adversity. Each garage door tells its own story - graffiti adorns some while others bear witness to years of wear and tear. As we gaze upon this photograph print, we are reminded that architecture is more than just buildings; it embodies history and culture within its concrete walls. It invites us to reflect on how societies evolve over time and how remnants from our past continue to shape our present.
