Resist erasure. Capture the legacy of a vanished era.

Monumental memorials dot Eastern Europe, cosmic constructions rise in the Caucasian mountains, and fading mosaics decorate Central Asian cities. Once dismissed as relics of a failed ideology, these works reveal extraordinary artistic ambition. Yet, as redevelopment and neglect accelerate, they risk being lost to decay and destruction. Drawing on archival records, field research, and local knowledge, this catalogue of maps, essays, and photographs destigmitises these public artworks and restores them to societal memory.
