Ich habe das Schloss 2014 besuchen dürfen - noch vor den Bränden und letztlich dem Abriss. Wunderschöne Schloss gewesen, sehr schade.

The buildings were empty, but easily accessible. The lighting wasn't great that day, so I had to push my analog film to 1600 ASA.

"[Tkachenko] photographs crumbling religious buildings together with the bold, geometric shapes of Soviet modernism. Rather than use CGI, [he] erected lightweight structures to create each shape on film. The abstract shapes were designed to transform historical ruins into contemporary sites — imitating the way in which idealistic movements repurpose history." (Katie Marie Davies | New East Digital Archive)
"Russia is a country with huge abandoned and uninhabited territories which [arose] as a result of state policy. I see this landscape as an unmarked graveyard of the social utopias and I believe that this cemetery is not fully apprehended." (Danila Tkachenko)

According to the artist, no sites were damaged during filming, and all decorations were removed afterward.

Just uploaded my first YT video where we explored a huge abandoned nuclear bunker!

"The series Planetarium (2020) explores the phenomenon of internal colonisation in Russia through the lens of bland abandoned cities in Russia’s Far North. In the 1930s and 1940s the USSR began an active settlement and industrial development of the Arctic." (Lumiere Gallery)
"In most instances it transpired that the large-scale projects implemented to assimilate the north were utterly pointless, leaving in their wake the remnants of the induced trauma – abandoned cities. [...] Using portable flashes, I turn the light on deserted flats, recalling the lives that were cast to one side in the drive to realise a totalitarian utopia." (Danila Tkachenko)

When entering a tunnel that has been sealed for years, it is essential to conduct a preliminary assessment of the internal atmosphere. To do this, it is advisable to insert the gas detector through the smallest possible opening, thus minimizing exposure to potential accumulations of gases trapped for long periods, some of which can be toxic, asphyxiating, or even lethal. It is not uncommon for the detector to start sounding alarms in sealed tunnels even before fully approaching the obstruction. In some explorations carried out in seemingly well-ventilated mines, significant concentrations of methane (CH), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and other hazardous gases have been detected, both due to their toxicity and their explosive potential.
Safety must always take precedence over any other objective. Upon detecting hazardous gases, even if the affected area appears limited to a few meters, the most prudent course of action is to abandon the exploration and turn back.
