Summary :
"Leningrad, Petrograd, Petersburg (part 1)" presents a journey through Leningrad based on a 1954 government-published book of photographs of that city. Visiting the city 52 years later the artist re-photographed the locations presented in the book revealing changes to monuments and architecture. The accompanying sound is a recorded conversation between curator Elena Sorokina, artist Yevgeniy Fiks, and Carlos Motta in which they respond to the images and the many political, historical and cultural aspects that these invoke.
