从1928年到1939年,奥斯卡·多伊奇以流线型现代电影院最杰出的建筑之一震惊了英国公众,他将这些建筑命名为“现代电影院”。
这些诱人的霓虹灯象征着逃避现实、魅力和负担得起的奢华,它们出现在经济萧条和国际紧张局势加剧的时期。但是,面对快速变化的社会带来的挑战,电视和家庭娱乐越来越吸引人,这些巨大的建筑中有许多已经挣扎着生存下来。
尽管被认为在建筑上很重要,但无数曾经的奥德昂人早已遭遇了毁灭之球(最近的一次是在曼彻斯特),而其他人则继续为生存而战。
摄影师兼作家菲利普·巴特勒(Philip Butler)正在进行一个项目,记录英国两次世界大战期间幸存下来的建筑,作为这个项目的一部分,他走遍全国,捕捉多伊奇在21世纪开创性帝国的遗迹。从令人眼花缭乱的修复到腐朽的外壳,从令人同情的重新配置到粗心大意的改变,他的照片突出了每一座建筑的不同命运。
现在巴特勒已经把他的一些形象汇集在一本新书,奥丁的遗物。建筑作家Jason Sayer的一篇富有启发性的文章介绍了这本书,探讨了Odeon帝国的诞生和标志性的图画宫殿的创建。由传奇建筑摄影师John Maltby拍摄的一组令人惊叹的历史时期照片,也展示了这些标志性建筑刚建成时的样子,与巴特勒当代照片中展示的饱经风霜的建筑形成了鲜明的对比。
这本书由菲利普·巴特勒(Philip Butler)自费出版,并通过Kickstarter网站筹集资金,将于2019年10月27日由Art Data出版社发行。更多信息请访问:artdecomagpie.com。
