Travelling thousands of kilometres in search for the former symbols of USSR’s technological progress, Russian photographer Danila Tkachenko created a series of images that speak about human impulse towards utopia and people’s striving for perfection.
Tkachenko’s photographs bear witness of what remains after the progress has ground to a halt. Realized in 2013-2015, the project ‘Restricted Areas‘ shows the places that, once a symbol of Soviet power and future, have lost their significance over the years as the idea of utopia became obsolete.
Wow! They kinda look like ancient abandoned spaceships from another dynasty! Fascinating!
