Alexander Hislop "The idea was to resurrect Mark Lebon’s film night, Reely. He set it up in the late 80s in what used to be Kensington Market. I approached Tyrone, Mark’s son and the brains behind DoBeDo, and we came up with Reely and Truly. The Reely and Truly team consists of Tyrone Lebon, Mark Lebon, Phoebe Collings James and Alexander Hislop – that’s me. Each month we open with an hour of short films curated by DoBeDo, featuring the work of both young filmmakers and some of the original Reely contributors. We also invite a guest photographer each month to shoot and project an exclusive slide show that plays as the visual accompaniment to the party that happens after the screening. No VJs, we promise."

Paul Virilio Bunker Archeology

Back in print after nearly a decade: Paul Virilio’s Bunker Archeology, originally published in French in 1975 after appearing in an exhibition at the Pompidou Center. (The first English edition came out in 1994.) The urban theorist presents his 124 duotones of abandoned World War II–era German bunkers along the coast of France and muses on oppression, destruction, and the notion of fortress.

Paul Virilio, born in 1932 in Paris, is a cultural theorist (or ‘urbanist’, as he describes himself) best-known for his writings about war and its relation to history, architecture and culture. Virilio studied at the Ecole des Metiers d’Art and then began to specialise in stained-glass artwork. He studied phenomenology at the Sorbonne after his conscription into the army during the Algerian war of independence. Virilio began to collaborate with Claude Parent in 1963, and formed the ‘Architecture Principe’ group. He was nominated Professor at the Ecole Speciale d’Architecture by the students in 1968, and became its Director of Studies in 1973. His important works include Speed and Politics, War and Cinema, and The Information Bomb.
