Donatas, Vsevolod and Yelena live in Moscow, a city which a century ago embodied the dream of a better future. Once an architectural stronghold of constructivism, today the city is the capital of neo-capitalism. Isa Willinger interlinks three individuals' struggle for the preservation of once revolutionary residences against reactionary forces with manifestos and archive material from the twenties. Participation and community as social utopias of the modern era, and what remains thereof. BW
