Post-Soviet – Online Opening Event

For more than a decade, photographer Lenke Szilágyi (who for several years has been working as a photo-archivist in the Archives) regularly travelled to the (former) Soviet Union, witnessing and documenting the fall of Communism and the Post-Soviet realities not only in large centers like Moscow or St. Petersburg but also in rural areas (the Black Sea coast, the Volga region, Karelia, etc.). Her photos are sensitive imprints of an era of constant change and a territory of eternal immutability; in her portrays she depicts the hopes and despairs of the time, while also adds her own witty commentaries in the diary entries accompanying the photos. The exhibition is the first major show of Szilágyi’s Post-Soviet collection.
