Post #29

Only 3 days are left until the end of the Open Call for a new column #PostSoviet, and after having received a lot of applications, ODRA kick-starts the column with an essay on the 1991 Soviet coup d'état attempt by Marusia Makhmutova, a fashion photographer and collage artist, who has worked with GQ, Esquire, Glamour and Marie Claire Italy. 30 years after the August Coup, Konstantin Makhmutov’s photographs became part of an exhibition at the Boris Yeltsin Presidential Center, while Marusia was asked by GQ Russia magazine to reinterpret those images. In her essay, Marusia tells a story of how she felt when she revisited the photos taken by her father.
