I LOVE DECAY - 1/1 by Andy Schwetz

Description

This house of culture stands in a small village in Georgia, near the border with Azerbaijan, and is abandoned for over 30 years. There is even a still a statue of Stalin in front of it. Houses of culture had great political and cultural importance at the local level in the Soviet Union. They were not only the centres for events and festivals in the village, but were also used for party purposes. Often the villages fell into disrepair, but the culture house was always magnificent and well maintained. Today, most of them have no more use or simply lack the money to maintain these objects. For someone like me, who deals a lot with the legacies of the USSR and documents them, these buildings are extremely exciting because they were part of this absurd system and are often really exciting architecturally.
