Europe Contemporary – Cold War

Yanko Tihov’s limited edition lenticular print ‘Europe Contemporary – Cold War’ captures passport covers of Contemporary Europe in juxtaposition to passport covers from the Cold War period. Tihov has combined these two maps into a three dimensional lenticular print. As the viewer changes their view point, the imagery moves between the different eras. This movement between time subtly reveal the change in both history and identity of the countries from the 1960’s to the present day.
‘Europe Contemporary – Cold War’ was first exhibited at The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2022 at gallery I, curated by Bill Woodrow RA.
