Abandoned Art Deco Cinema in Karaganda Shrine

by Ian Walton

Faded cream stucco curves of an Art Deco facade dominate the frame, its geometric plaster ornaments crumbling and detaching in mid-fall against a backdrop of early spring gloom. The structure sits within a shrine lined with rows of glowing lanterns that cast a warm, amber wash over the decaying masonry. Dramatic, heavy clouds press low in the sky as the city lights of Karaganda begin to flicker on in the distance, creating a soft, diffused glow. Broken pieces of ornamental molding hang precariously from the cornice, suspended by gravity alone. The lanterns reflect faintly on the wet, dark pavement below, where a single fallen shard rests near the curb.
