The art project “Deserted Utopia” is based on examples of architecture from the process of emancipation in modern socialist society. Today, these projects represent an “uncertain past” that post-socialist society is trying to come to terms with. The project, which looks at spatial features, emerged from the collective environment of the “socialist city.” The buildings have a physically articulated structure, brutal toward their context, both monumental and introverted: they are genuine experiments that reflect the emergence of a new social order, they have had a powerful psychological impact on the image of their own environment, and are therefore now often perceived as monuments of dystopia.
