The Cold War is over - yet these are still signs of it. For forty years, the Iron Curtain divided the countries of Europe into East and West. The arms race was unleashed, atomic shelters were built, and everyone prepared for the worst.... Dutch photographer Martin Roemers (b. 1962) spent ten years searching for traces of this period, traveling through the countries of former enemies on both sides of the line. He explored and documented underground tunnels, abandoned system control centers, old barracks, rusting tanks and destroyed monuments. His photographs, presented here with essays by H.J.A. Hofland and Nadine Barth, are a stark and moving document of this era of hostility, deterrence politics and the arms race - and also serve as a call for future peace.
