Relics of the Cold War

The Cold War is over — yet signs of it still exist. For forty years the Iron

Curtain divided the countries of Europe into East and West. The arms race

was unleashed, nuclear fallout shelters were constructed, and everyone

braced for the worst. Dutch documentary photographer Martin Roemers (*1962)

has spent ten years in search of the traces of this period, traveling

through the countries of former enemies on both sides of the line. He

explored and documented underground tunnels, abandoned system control

centers, former barracks, rotting tanks, and destroyed monuments. His

photographs are a stark and moving document of this era of hostility,

deterrence politics, and the arms race — and also serve as an appeal for

future peace.
