Look at the views of Moscow that are not normally deemed worth photographing.
While many of the popular
Instagram accounts devoted to brutalist aesthetics are all about perfectly
smooth concrete and geometric lines, @uglymoscow celebrates
the city’s visual chaos and peeks into the ugly corners of the city’s suburbs
and sleeping districts.
Whether it’s a building
cluttered with window air conditioners and advertisements, overburdened by neon
signs, or just a generic apartment block, the admins of Ugly Moscow post images
of the build environment that are usually deemed unworthy of being
photographed. The result is almost nostalgic for locals: these everyday views
of the capital are really familiar but not often represented in the picture
perfect world of Instagram.
