entry description
For the last 5 years, Moscow is changing. The city gets cleaner, almost no more advertising is visible and massive construction works are going on. The city is really shaping to become again a strongly architectural urban environment. It seems for me that the old Stalinist era is returning with a new face and new interpretation.about the photographer
Cinematic, dream-like shots. German photographer Frank Herfort has spent over a decade photographing the insides of various public spaces throughout Russia and Eastern Europe—spaces that, incidentally, are lacking a public. An architectural photographer by trade, Herfort’s personal work pays homage to the old-fashioned, Stainlist decor that still consumes many Russian interiors. Yet Herfort’s work brings a modern twist, seemingly imported from the outside, that eradicates markers of time or context and persuades the viewer to create their own narrative.back to gallery
