Concresco is Dutch photographer David Galjaard’s photographic account of the decaying communist-era bunker infrastructure of Albania. The interiors — and chairs in particular — are perfect.

Terence Mckenna (philosopher/entertainer)once said that part of the reason why communism failed is because it was “ugly.”
To clarify:
Only the first two photos (the ones of the book) are from his Concresco series of Albanian shelters. The other photos are from his series called “When the Siren Goes”, of Dutch shelters, which were generally larger and better maintained.

I don’t know why, but I always get this “evil vibe” from chairs that are bolted to the ground like those in image #4. When you sit here, you sit HERE!
