Frank Herfort, “Grand Park, Moscow” (2006 / 2009) (all images courtesy the artist and Kerber) If you think Soviet architecture was strange — with its retrofuture angles and monolithic forms — you should see what came after the USSR’s collapse.

The Retrofuture Shock of Post-Soviet Architecture

German photographer Frank Herfort has spent years traveling all over Russia and the former Soviet territories, from metropolises to remote rural zones, to capture the bizarre architecture of the post-Soviet era. Herfort’s photographs have now been published in Imperial Pomp: Post Soviet Highrise (2013, Kerber), and all the structures together look more like a speculative vision of a surreal future than reality. From 2009 to 2013 he journeyed to 20 cities to find the most ostentatious and bombastic of the odd mix of architectural forms that peaked in the 1990s and are just now receding.

As a style of music, however, deathrock has persisted into the present, with interest and activity waxing and waning as the years have gone by. Metal. Metal In the context of a history of the early goth scene, having a section about Metal is about as relevant as having a section about Mod or Ska. All three scenes were around (in a revived form) at roughly the same time as the early goth scene, but they had very little interaction with or influence upon it. However, an awful lot of people seem confused on this point, so maybe I'd better explain.

Behind a Little House Project: Dramatic Changes in Landscape Behind a Tiny House. For his Behind a Little House Project Italian photographer Manuel Cosentino found an unsuspecting muse: a tiny nondescript house on an unexceptional hill. He returned to photograph the small building from the exact same location for nearly two years in order to capture the dramatic changes in weather and light that utterly changed the scenery just beyond the horizon.

As part of a traveling exhibition the photos are mounted on a wall behind a book containing copies of a photo of the house against a white sky. Viewers are then invited to draw their own interpretation of what appears behind the little house. Via his artist statement: 10 Ways to Protect Yourself from Emotional Terrorists.
