we're lost control

Come sempre,

Da sempre

siamo attratti

dalle

Illusioni.

Neghiamo

la realtà e

preferiamo le

proiezioni.

Time Witness by Stefano Barattini 

Stefano Barattini’s project refers to transition spaces, places sometimes left behind, exposed to a possible mutation. These places go back to a vague time, exploring an abandoned condition of which we appreciate the aesthetic dimension.

The search of these places has expanded without interruptions, including a large variety of typologies such as: sanatoriums, villas, farm houses, mental hospitals, factories and prisons in a state of complete dereliction. The main cultural purpose is to keep photographic traces of an artistic and architectural heritage which is going to be lost in demolition, destruction or severe renovation.

Back in the U.S.S.R.

German photographer Peter Ortner has spent seven years documenting 500 bus stops across former Soviet countries, including a triangular pavilion, a winged shelter and several colorful mosaic designs.

Ortner visited seven former-Soviet territories including Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia, The Crimea Peninsula, Ukraine and Moldova to create the Back in the USSR photo series. Unlike the grey concrete buildings often associated with socialist architecture built throughout the 20th century, Ortner found an eclectic, colourful micro-architecture that emerged on the roadside.

Described as “jewels”, the bus stops allowed the architects to experiment free from the pressures of socialist Moscow. “This underlines the autonomy of the republics and ostensibly goes against the centralism of Moscow,” said Ortner. “It seems as if a little free space for architecture opened up here, in the face of all centralist planning.”
