Eric Lusito - Traces of the Soviet Empire
FULL COPY: http://www.rexfeatures.com/nanolink/p8ug
These haunting photographs show the remnants of the once all-powerful Soviet empire.
They are the work of Eric Lusito, who spent six years travelling throughout the former Soviet world from East Germany to Mongolia, from Poland to Kazakhstan to seek out remains of the military installations that embodied the ambition and the might of the USSR.
Describing himself as working like an archaeologist, the French photographer says his project "Traces of the Soviet Empire" is a photographic record of the land and architecture - haunted by the symbols and history of a once powerful Empire.
The on-going project takes the form of three series: exteriors, interiors, and found photographs "images from another time, another space and another world".
What he found was colourful propaganda wall art, faded frescos of Lenin, discarded gas masks, and huge monuments, including those in the shapes of a soldier and a sword.

World's Most Disgusting Treats At Grisly Cake Shop
It may seem a self-defeating idea, but a new cake-shop aims to turn the stomach of its customers.
The Eat Your Heart Out pop-up cake shop will offer some of the most grisly-looking 'treats' in the world.
Expertly-twisted bakers have created a range of cake-based products featuring realistic wounds, stitches and even chocolate hacked-off body parts filled with rum.
There are also fanciful depictions of the mythical kraken sea monster, including a blood-red mouth of kraken complete with a 100 individual hand-made chocolate teeth.
But perhaps most stomach-churning of all the delicacies is an interactive maggot extraction cupcake, which allows for mango flavoured maggots and puss to be removed with tweezers prior to eating.
Spokeswoman Emma Cakehead says: "We already have a contender for the most disturbing cupcakes you (FOTO:DUKAS/REX)

China is leading the way once again at the re-opening of London's giant Saatchi Gallery.
After a three-year closure the gallery has re-opened its doors in a new venue with the inaugural exhibition "The Revolution Continues: New Art From China".
