Ives Maes

The Future of Yesterday is a photographic series about the architectural remnants of world exhibitions, often revealing an ironic contrast between the grand utopian views of times past and the urban reality of today
Ives Maes has re-photographed archival images as well as his own pictures, taken in 2009 and 2013, from the “All Union Agricultural Exhibition”. These former images are juxtaposed with new photographs taken during the build-up of the Moscow Biennial.
