Through Lusitio's photography and determination to scour abandoned military bases in order to find hidden traces of the past, we are reminded anew of the cultural function of ruins: emblems of vanished convictions, fragments of a past that projected a very different future. Simply bearing witness to these previously secret locations relegates them to the past in a way that cannot be said of concrete housing blocks or defaced Lenin statues. These were buildings not supposed to be seen but still intended to carry out the operations of power.
