About ‘Moscow metro‘:
Moscow metro station, Russia. A three-month project documenting everyday life in the Moscow metro. The artfully designed stations, many first built in the 1930s, are filled with symbols of the nation’s history.
More than seven million commuters pass through the Moscow metro every day, one of the few places in the city which brings together people from all parts of the society.
This project will be a part of a book I’m currently working on, which will explore everyday life in metro stations of three Post-Soviet countries, published by KAHL Editions in 2018.
