Opulent Propaganda: The Subterranean Paradise of the Moscow Metro David Burdeny, Taganskaya Metro Station, Moscow, Russia, 2015 (all images courtesy the artist and Jennifer Kostuik Gallery) For two weeks last year, Canadian photographer David Burdeny spent his nights 200 feet underground, shooting the surreal opulence of the Moscow Metro. With their ornate chandeliers, marble walls, bronze columns, and intricate mosaics, these railway stations have been likened to an “artificial underground sun.” (Aesthetically, they’re as far from the rat-infested purgatory of New York City’s subway system as you could possibly get.) As far as he knows, Burdeny is the only professional photographer in the world to have been granted permission to extensively shoot these locations emptied of passengers. Novolobodskaya Station, Moscow, Russia, 2014 When looked at out of historical context, Burdeny’s photos seem like pretty pictures of architectural marvels that are stylistically similar to the pre-Soviet Russian Empire’s palaces.
