“Soviet Signs and Street Relics” by Photographer Jason Guilbeau

Our readings have been very focused on the importance of the transaction between design and context, and how this relationship can give and take away a design’s meaning. Viewing these Soviet forms and monuments without the time, cultural, or spacial context leaves me trying to project meaning from my own perspective. Even more, Guilbeau takes these photos through Google Maps, adding a non-human perspective to the mix.
