Link in bio. . “For over a decade I’ve been obsessed with propaganda, control and manipulation mechanisms, and how they are camouflaged in our daily surroundings: From architecture to small scale objects as well as social structures. I’m fascinated with how innocent and neutral spaces intersect with politically defined backgrounds gaining new contexts. . I found this still life in the Heydar Aliyev Center in Salyan, Azerbaijan, in 2016. In 2013, to mark the 10th anniversary of Heydar Aliyev’s death, his son and successor as president, Ilham Aliyev, issued an order that the country’s 70 subdivisions should all build a monumental center named after his father, each intended to uphold the cult of the dead leader. Almost all of them house a museum devoted to the life and work of Aliyev senior, as well as a chess school and the local folk song and dance ensemble. The local communities are not stirred into action by the buildings, but use them only occasionally. In April of 2016, for instance, following the Four Day War, these buildings were used to stage ‘victory’ celebrations.” - @rafal.milach .
