Frank Herfort, 2021
Step into the past with this photographic journey through metro stations from the Soviet era. These subterranean spaces, adorned with bronze figures, monumental reliefs of cosmonauts, and socialist grandeur, serve as chronicles of a bygone world power. Photographer Frank Herfort captures the artistic and historical essence of over 20 metro systems, from Moscow to Bucharest and Baku to Tbilisi.
The focus is on the intricate details and over 700 artworks, originally conceived as prestige projects across vast distances and varying conditions. These stations, presented together, form a comprehensive view of socialist art, still connected to the daily lives of people today.
