Television is the symbol of prosperity in every Soviet household.
In this 2019 series, shards of the Soviet Union unite, led by the hypnotic allure of TV.

A complex visual blend: from nostalgia and melancholy to relief and understanding that the dream of universal splendor is nothing more than a utopia.

The photographs transcend a post-USSR Russia’s spirit and a post-TV Eastern European society where something unchanging lingers. We need to move on. Or do we have to?
