George Pusenkoff - Mona Lisa goes Russia

Más información sobre el libro

Pusenkoff takes the most famous picture in European art history, the Mona Lisa, or better his version of it, to sites of his native Russia. He places her in different urban and rural contexts, like Red Square or a simple backyard. Thus, his photographs look like reportage on everyday life in Russia, yet at the same time, through the "alien element" of the painting, they seem like surrealistic scenes. In the end, it is a subversive, ironic commentary on our way of dealing with pictures.
