Collective Red - part 2 1999

"Collective Red - part 2" is a 1999 photograph by Arsen Savadov, which depicts a group of people in a staged scene. The photograph satirizes Soviet-era symbolism, with individuals in red clothing and holding Soviet flags, while others wear large red mushroom hats. This satirical image is likely a commentary on the legacy and contradictions of the Soviet Union and its official ideology. The use of costuming and props allows the artist to explore the absurdity of the past regime, inviting viewers to consider their own perspectives and interpretations of the imagery.
