iylshowcase: Lola Paprocka reveals the brutalist architecture of Belgrade, the people inhabiting these estates and her nostalgia for concrete in her new book ‘Blokovi - Novi Beograd’.Shot on medium format, the series of portraits and urban landscapes serves as a love letter to the city, embracing a new wave of diverse creativity while also being reminiscent of her childhood memories of Soviet Poland.“There’s a secret life amidst the concrete walls of these off-beat postmodern structures,” explains Mima Bulj, a curator and Belgrade native. “It’s a life filled with culture and diversity, where each resident has a tale of their own.”Find Paprocka’s book launch tonight at 71a Gallery, Leonard St, Shoreditch, from 6-9pm. -- source link
