'Save the Ligne Maginot' by Alexandre Guirkinger
'Untitled 2007', from the 'Save the Ligne Maginot' project by Alexandre Guirkinger
While the French government has shown no will to restore the Maginot Line, individuals are taking it upon themselves to do so, turning bunkers into museums, staging war re-enactments and hosting gun clubs. Some have even transformed them into private houses. Here, Guirkinger shows a message of protest. 'I like the strange notion of saving this military construction that never saved anything itself,' he says
