Text: Slavenka Drakulic & Jaap Scholten. - 'Concresco' is a book about conflict that describes no actual conflict. It is barely even about the prospect of conflict, but more about the paranoia and absolute power of a Stalinist dictator. During his long time in power, from 1944 to his death in 1985, Albanian leader Enver Hoxha had around 750,000 concrete bunkers built between the years 1967 and 1985 on the pretext that Albania would be attacked from abroad. - David Galjaard's exploration of this strange social berration - so many bunkers is bonkers - documents both their effect on the landscape and, through textual materials, their social and symbolic significance.
