Hidden Cities: Warsaw

Remove the negative and discover the brutal charm of Warsaw soc-modernist estates.

Modernist housing estates erected in the suburbs of European cities after WW2 have been ignored and neglected for decades. Although they are home to the vast majority of urbanites, many would rather they were invisible. This interactive photo set allows you to unveil some of the most hidden and controversial urbanscapes of the Polish capital, featuring the districts of Chomiczówka, Marymont, Sielce, Solec, Śródmieście, Tarchomin and Targówek.

Contains 8 interactive cards that resemble Polaroid 55 films - peel the negative apart and reveal the hidden city. Includes a foreword on Warsaw post-war modernist estates. All pictures are taken by Zupagrafika. The negatives are reusable: they can be removed and repositioned repeatedly.
