Work Description

Yesterday, Today, Today derived from the subway back in the Soviet times that was conceived as a “pleasure dome”, a palace for the working class and symbol of equality for all. The expensive materials and wonderful decorative aspects bore witness to the greatness of the Soviet ideology. Today those beautiful marbles palaces have been transformed to fit a new neo-liberal capitalistic ideology, being the place for self-adhesive film presenting advertisement.
