These two works by Sergey Zarva draw from the iconic Soviet magazine *Ogonyok*, transforming its cheerful, propagandistic covers through collage into something layered with cultural memory and irony. By painting over and reassembling the original printed surfaces, Zarva disrupts the magazine's idealized imagery, creating a tension between the glossy optimism of Soviet mass media and a more fractured, contemporary perspective. The works function simultaneously as historical artifacts and critical interventions, inviting reflection on the aesthetics and ideologies embedded in everyday print culture.
