A city of electric architectural diversity – Belgrade’s Modernist structures give the Serbian capital a unique character. The grey of Belgrade’s Brutalist concrete is one of the city’s architectural signatures, existing in both complex volumetric facades and monolithic rectilinear forms. But while a plethora of architectural appraisals has been conducted on the external qualities of brutalist structures in Belgrade and beyond, photographic documentation of Belgrade’s brutalist interiors is relatively rare – something that photographer Inês d’Orey has sought to change in her most recent exhibition.
Currently exhibiting at the Galeria das Salgadeiras in Lisbon, “Beograd Concrete” arose out of Inês d'Orey’s artist residency in Belgrade, where the photographer documented a diverse array of Belgrade’s Brutalist buildings – ranging from public buildings to offices and schools.
