From 1978 to 1993, young Soviet architects Aleksandr Brodsky and Ilya Utkin created an extraordinary series of etchings featuring strange, and at times impossible, buildings and urban landscapes based on a variety of architectural, literary, and visual sources, ranging from classical mythology to science fiction. The drawings present absurd proposals and fictional cityscapes in eclectic mixtures of ancient mausoleums, industrial buildings, neoclassical utopias, and constructivist towers. Some depict an oppressive and alienating modern metropolis, reflecting the experience of living under a totalitarian regime, while others feature strange, cerebral, and human elements layered with historical precedents—from Piranesi to Le Corbusier—that remain breathtakingly complex and beautiful.
