"Stop trying to seduce us with your visions of the past"

Symbolism:
The starting point of this body of work is a symbol extrapolated from a photograph of a model that is the only surviving documentation of Walter Gropius' entry for the international competition to design the Palace of the Soviets in Moscow (1931). This proposal, along with those of Le Corbusier and Ginsburg was amongst those that were rejected by Stalin’s panel in favour of a 400m high neo-classical structure topped with a 100m high statue of Lenin in full declamatory pose.
