Photographer Merav Maroody reveals images sited in post Soviet economic which express what could be the Post Communist Industry age. Her poetic pictures reveal an unexpected rebirth of these landscapes, images of broken utopias, an unknown landscapes. These buildings represent a chaotic impulse brought about by a decaying system. Its diversity shows us the end of this industry. Good work!

This project stems from whatever memories still exist of a long tradition of communist labor. My fascination with abandoned eastern European factories is manifested in a constant search for capturing the essence of those places with her camera. Using a unique technique of combining multiple exposures into one complete image, I try to create images that reflect the true colors and “feel” of the factories.

Merav Maroody says.- "The HDR technique I’m using has an essential conceptual role in my work, rather than being a sole technical need, it reflects on the paranoid need to preserve a-soon-to-be-gone that at some point in history engaged the lives of an entire community. In that sense those huge deserted place with old machines, are reminiscences of the long gone ideology of manhood and pride of labor."
