Soviet Prisoner’s Abdominal Art

Written on by jeremy

Photographer Sergey Maximishin, who served in the Soviet army during the 80s, took these photos in a Russian “prison museum“. The spoons, shanks and sets of dominoes were all culled from the stomachs of men serving time in the 1950s-60s. Once confiscated, the would-be weapons were lovingly labeled and mounted. Don’t judge me, but I bet people would pay top dollar for these in one of Fab.com’s vintage kitsch sales.

Jeremy thinks...

Olly Moss: "If you look at classic art, a lot of it is religious and mythic iconography and symbolism. Now a days it’s a similar thing: It’s just instead of having Hercules, Athena and Apollo it’s Darth Vader and Optimus Prime."
