The Soviet dream of modernist architecture for all, portrayed on the brink of its erasure
In recent years Russian cities have visibly changed. The architectural heritage of the Soviet period has not been fully acknowledged. As a result many unique modernist buildings have been destroyed or changed beyond recognition.
Russian photographer Arseniy Kotov intends to document these buildings and their surroundings before they are lost forever. He likes to take pictures in winter, during the “blue hour,” which occurs immediately after sunset or just before sunrise. At this time, the warm yellow colors inside apartment-block windows contrast with the twilight gloom outside. To Kotov, this atmosphere reflects the Soviet period of his imagination. His impression of this time is unashamedly idealistic: he envisages a great civilization, built on a fair society, which hopes to explore nature and conquer space.
From the Baikonur Cosmodrome in the desert steppes of Kazakhstan to the grim monolithic high-rise dormitory blocks of inner-city Volgograd, Kotov captures the essence of the post-Soviet world. “The USSR no longer exists and in these photographs we can see what remains―the most outstanding buildings and constructions, where Soviet people lived and how Soviet cities once looked: no decoration, no bright colors and no luxury, only bare concrete and powerful forms.”
This superbly designed volume is the latest in Fuel's revelatory and inspiring series on Soviet-era architecture.

圖書標籤:
藉標一下攝影師的另一本Soviet seasons,不知為何還沒創建條目。很美,無論是清冷的還是壯麗的都很美,毛子的雕塑和繪畫格外戳我。
評分集體主義下的前蘇聯遺骨,現在看來有種廢土朋剋,破碎之感
評分震撼!開本較小
評分紅色美學
