Twenty years have passed since the fall of the Soviet Union. For the young generation of the former member countries this period of time could seem as long as eternity. They know about the communist era only from older people�s stories, from books and movies. But the harsh totalitarian regime of Bolshevism has dictated people�s life for a long, long time and has left its marks on every single aspect of their being. It has changed their culture, their perceptions, their mentality and even their memories. As a result, a new form of human existence has emerged. Today, traces and consequences of this epoch are still vivid everywhere. Crossover Time is an ongoing project, a cultural study of how history has defined and determined post Soviet culture and how this culture has defined and determined society. These photographs explore the psychological and physical spaces of humans in a climate of disbelieve and lack on confidence. Among others, the project focuses on the influence of communism on ordinary people�s visual culture. Particularly interesting is the link between totalitarianism and kitsch, especially domestic kitsch. Back in Soviet times, kitsch was the most common and only affordable form of aesthetics. �The poverty is not just material, manifest in low- grade furniture, clothing, crockery on tablets and sideboards, it is accompanied by poor taste and the noticeable rule of kitsch.� Ryszard Kapuscinski
