The Moscow Project | Chloe Lelliot
Subterraneans
The Moscow metro was built during Stalin’s era to raise the confidence and prestige of the working classes. Today over 7 million passengers pass through its stations every day. These grand structures with opulent design are known as ‘the people's palaces’. Chloe Lelliotts work focuses on the quiet moments between the energy of the crowd. Candid scenes touched with a sense of the cinematic, the solitary figures seem to adopt a statuesque poise lost in their thoughts.
