In this photograph, St. Basil's Cathedral on Red Square is almost completely hidden by scaffolding. This removes the familiar festive image, replacing it with a sense of temporary closure, anticipation, and work. The scaffolding is not simply a maintenance structure, a visual sign of control and access restrictions. The cathedral, as a symbol of the city and the state, remains visible, but it is currently impossible to see it in its entirety—it is undergoing a pause before returning to public space. Created on 2015-09-20. Canon EOS 5D Mark II. EF 50mm lens. I, Konstantin, declare that if this work is selected and acquired by the 6529 Network Museum, it will be dedicated to CC0, and I confirm that I have the full rights necessary to make that dedication.
