digital print on board, led light

The work represents a fictional architecture - a double Ziggurat built from blocks of flats. The ziggurat was a religious-political building in historic Mesopotamia, the site of the Garden of Paradise according to the Bible. The ziggurat is a symbol of religious-political power, just as we can any other form of public architecture can be conceived from a political perspective. During the socialist era, prefabricated housing estates were not only a solution to contemporary housing needs, but also an effective tool for political propaganda.
