BunkArt 2, Tirana Albania!

Balkan Countries - These bunkers were built by Enver Hoxha, who was the former dictator of Albania. He was suffering from paranoia. The communist dictator ruled Albania for nearly 50 years. The dictator’s rule began in 1944 and lasted until his death in 1985. During his rule he was constantly paranoid. In Enver Hoxha’s mind “the enemy” was haunting Albania. Moreover, he feared a nuclear war was inevitable. Therefore, Hoxha built tens of thousands of bunkers all over Albania to protect the population. Ironically, the invaders and the war never came. Consequently, the Albanian landscape is dotted with thousands of bunkers. These bunkers are literally the product of Enver Hoxha’s fear and paranoia.
