Orthodox chic

The authors of Orthodox Chic, architects Alex Bykov and Oleksandr Burlaka, alongside artist Sasha Kurmaz, turn to photographing post-Soviet religious architecture as a way of capturing its social, political and economic development. The book portrays new forms of religious architecture, from kiosks, shacks, pop-up chapels attached to giant shopping malls, apartment blocks and magnificent new cathedrals.

The author of the introductory text is Asya Bazdyreva, art critic and co-author of research practice at Geocinema. (bron: website uitgever)
