I Photographed The Last Statue Of Stalin Being Removed

ADVERTISEMENT

My name is Dimitri and I am a photographer, based in France. I am also known for my brand name Jahz (Jahz Design). I travel to the former USSR to capture the last statue of Stalin. In summer 2010, authorities removed it during the night. It was a six-meter high statue of Joseph Stalin which had stood in the main square in Gori since 1952.

    French artist, Dimitri Bourriau "Jahz Design", is a graduated graphic designer. He has always been interested in history and architectural remains. It was in 2013 when he developed his interest in the photography of heritage in disuse. His first exploration was an ancient cemetery of military ships. Today he travels the globe looking for places in decline. It draws our attention to our civilization in constant mutation to ephemeral memory. His latest discoveries have taken him in the footsteps of the Soviet Buran spacecraft program in Baikonur (Kazakhstan). In 2017 he became Manfrotto ambassador. In 2018, Irix, the brand of ultra-wide angle lens of Swiss origin, proposed to Dimitri to become their ambassador.

    Great photos! I've always had a perverse fascination with the stalinist era and the aftermath, so I love these images of the graveyards of ideology ....
