Thaddeus Zupancic (Fuel, £26.95)
PHOTOGRAPHER Thaddeus Zupancic hails from Slovenia, where his father first helped focused his gaze on the architecture that nurtured and held communities together, more often than not in wonderful modernist design.
This fascination grew further when he moved to London, via Germany and France, where the sight of these often breathtaking architectural constructs stimulated even more the Situationist in him.
Zupancic’s concise and brief introduction makes important points that contextualise politically and historically what is so intriguing in his illuminating photos.
