EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Bob Battersby showcases the enchanting beauty of Pyramiden, a Russian settlement located in Norway's Svalbard region. The image captures the most northerly statue of Lenin in the world, standing tall against an overcast sky. In the background, we see the miners' social and welfare building, now abandoned but still holding remnants of its former glory. The architectural elements are striking - a mix of blue brick and concrete create a unique blend that stands out amidst the Arctic landscape. The decorative ironwork adds an elegant touch to this derelict structure, while granite foundations symbolize strength and resilience. Within this forgotten complex lies a cinema that once brought joy to residents and visitors alike. Additionally, it houses the most northerly Grand Piano in the world – an unexpected treasure tucked away in this remote corner of Scandinavia. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but feel intrigued by Pyramiden's history as a coal mining town under Soviet rule. Its significance as both a cultural center and communal heating hub is evident through its grand concert hall and symbolic monuments. Bob Battersby's photograph transports us to another time when life thrived within these walls. It serves as a poignant reminder of human presence amidst nature's harsh embrace – frozen permafrost surrounding this redundant yet hauntingly beautiful place on Earth.
