architizer: Back to the USSR

Photos by Anatoly Mozorov. These photographs capture the twilight of the Soviet project through digitally-manipulated images of battered industry, made fragile by years of neglect and abandonment. They stand solitary in vast open landscapes of nothingness against the murky skies of apocalyptic doom, specters of a now lost and irrecoverable utopia, or as Reyner Banham put it [speaking of the decline and failure of megastructures as vehicles for social transformation], “a whitening skeleton on the dark horizons of our [not-so-] recent past.” (Architizer)
