Follow in the footsteps of French photographer Jonathan 'Jonk' Jimenez as he tries to track down these super-sized public structures. Once numbering in their thousands and attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors every year, in particular “young pioneers” for their communist and patriotic education. Pushing architecture to its limits, Spomeniks are what happens when brutalism, symbolism, space age aesthetics and abstraction meet.

Old neighbourhoods were renewed with gleaming arcades of iron and glass prefiguring contemporary shopping malls, and entire neighbourhoods were built from scratch. Marrinan plots the zigzag trajectory of the monuments, spaces, and habits of a city that both looks back to the past and forward in time with all the optimism, self-doubts, and creative energy of a culture poised at the threshold of modernity.

La présence durable de noms de rues, de monuments, de bâtiments et d'institutions glorifiant explicitement la colonisation du Congo constitue un point d'entrée pour regarder en face les déclinaisons de la négrophobie contemporaine. L'ouvrage formule ainsi une remise en question radicale des structures du pouvoir colonial et racial à travers une critique politique et esthétique de l'espace public bruxellois.

Built in 1940, the Binning residence captures the spirit of early Modernism in Canada. Binning is equally well known for his lively line drawings and his geometric, non-figurative abstract paintings that often reflect his fascination with boats and maritime activity.

Le Corbusier collected all kinds of everyday objects he called objets à réaction poétique: shells, pieces of wood, glass or bone, stones, enamelled ceramics, bricks, and common objects. Photographs and sketches of cars demonstrate Le Corbusier’s passion for vehicles and means of transport, and the tickets, tourist brochures, and postcards of monuments that the architect collected show his sentimentality for the journeys he took internationally.

The archive illustrates the themes and specialities of the expatriate photographers of the second half of the Nineteenth Century: study portraits, Royal commission s, landscapes, inventories of significant monuments and buildings, orientalist scenes, steeped in classical European imagination. Nevertheless, the project also explores the confrontation between these pioneers and what was foreign to the West, between Western imagination and the visual reality of the Middle East, a meeting which ended up giving rise to a local photography, gradually moving further away from Western stereotypes.
