HOTEL SLAVUTYCH

Installation Hotel Slavutych consists of postcards depicting modernist hotel built in 1972, located in Kyiv, Ukraine. The building is an example of typical soviet architecture which stands like a monument for the lost political ideals. In USSR hotels used to function as in-between-spaces where exceptional rules applied. For example offering variety of products which were otherwise not available on the streets. The postcards offer variety of images of the same building in its multiple utopian representations like a polished architectural render. Postcard used to be the only medium which could travel outside of the closed territory of SSSR functioning as marketing leaflet for the soviet ideology.
