Photo of the Day (04/07/08)

We haven’t featured any socialist realism photos here for a while. This one caught my eye.

Taken by Damiel in Berlin, we are looking at the backs of Karl Marx and Fridrich Engels, possibly the world’s most influential “utopists.” The composition is what makes the photo: mixing the old with the new. Juxtaposing the TV tower with the old Rathaus (Town Hall), set on the bed of white fluffy clouds and, of course, concrete. This must be how utopia is born.
