Editor in chief of French magazine Citizen K Frederick Shoben (Frédéric Chaubin), fascinated by this period of time in Soviet architecture, a period of seven years were selected and photographed these objects. As a result – a luxurious new Taschen book and exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Karlsruhe, which runs until 27th March.
