Centrum Babylon Liberec

photography series

Centrum Babylon is a large entertainment, hotel, and congress complex located in the city of Liberec, Czech Republic. It opened in 1998 after the conversion of a former textile factory into a leisure and entertainment centre, dressed in an exuberant postmodern mix of styles.

Today, its declining popularity and surfaces in need of renovation recall the post-1989 desire for cosmopolitanism and spectacle following the fall of the communist regime, a vision whose future now appears uncertain.
