In Albania, the environment is littered with 750,000 Bunkers that are the remnants of a hyper-paranoid dictator’s rule. Enver Hoxha was certain that his country would be attacked, and as a result he began to create a bunker for every citizen. Years later these bunkers remain a memory of this country’s strange history. Being too large or too expensive to remove, they have begun to be reimagined and repurposed - some going as far as being made into accommodations for tourists. Similar to these bunkers, Asteroids are objects that litter space. This project begins to challenge techniques of representation and to reimagine bunkers and asteroids.
