| dc.description.abstract | This thesis considers the subversive ways contemporary Russian art offers of looking at the ruins left by the recent Soviet past. It focuses on works of poetry and photography that capture the transformation of the landscape of industrial neighborhoods and how the material presence of the remains of the past exist in relation to the space of everyday life and shapes our perception of the present. Galina Rymbu’s poetic depiction of the disintegration of the industrial landscape in the 1990s and the photographic project “Arcadia” by Anastasia Tsayder that captures the abandoned and overgrown Soviet garden cities dwell on these spaces in a way that is utterly non-nostalgic and suggestive of new ways of inhabiting them and weaving them into the plane of the historical now. | en_US |
