Museum of Post-Apocalyptic Archeology : DOCUMENTS OF AN ERA
This project is an artistic inquiry that reimagines our cultural heritage as a fragmented archive—one shaped by the distortion of collective memory under conditions of global crisis. It brings together archaeological artifacts that serve as evidence of an era in which traditional cultural codes have undergone radical transformation. These objects pose a central question: how will future archaeologists decipher our legacy once familiar narratives and values have been warped by time?

Architectural Ghost
The object is a street-art intervention in the form of graffiti caryatids painted on the façade of an abandoned industrial building in a rural area. These classical female figures, rendered as graphic architectural elements in a rough monochrome spray-paint technique, are placed on either side of the crumbling openings, as if literally “supporting” the remaining structure.
It is a protest of high canon against utilitarianism and oblivion. Caryatids, once supporting the pediments of temples, now “hold up” the empty voids of a half-ruined building. Here, memory becomes a voice in the post-industrial silence, reminding us that even in the most forgotten landscapes, the presence of symbol and beauty remains possible. This is not only an act of artistic intrusion, but also a kind of archaeology of the future—as if the canon finds refuge in the spaces civilization has left behind.
The object is located in the Yel'niki village, Republic of Mordovia, Russia.
