Inside Tito's Bunker: multimedia photoessay
In Tito's Bunker, Ziyah Gafic, takes us into the underground world of a top secret military shelter built by Yugoslav leader Josep Tito in Konjic, a small Bosnian town. Built by the Yugoslav army between 1953 and 1979, the shelter occupies a space of 6500 square meters and consists of 12 connected blocks. It resembles a complicated labyrinth, with residential areas, conference rooms, offices, strategic planning rooms, and other functional areas. The construction and existence of this bunker was kept a top secret until the 1990s, when it was finally revealed. Inherited by the Bosnian army "Tito's Bunker" is still operational and off limits to visitors.This presentation is part of the special collaboration between Lens Culture and the photojournalists at VII Photo.
