Orthodox Chic is a visual exploration of architecture and urban space in independent Ukraine. The authors, architects Alex Bykov and Oleksandr Burlaka, alongside artist Sasha Kurmaz, turn to photographing post-Soviet religious architecture as a way of capturing its social, political and economic development. The authors work with several themes: the crisis that architecture faces as a professional discipline; developer strategies, whereby religion is used to manipulate and control land resources; and the status of religion of today. Nowadays, with the great increase of supposedly numinous places, authors question not only their authenticity but the possibility of an authentic religious experience. By looking closely at the place and its form, they draw attention to the fact that these sacred places do not fit within a symbolic hierarchy or system: they are fakes, both in body and in spirit. The manipulation of religion for appropriating and commercialising public space another one of the books main themes is evident in the small details. It seems as though the archaic institution of the Church fits into modern economic, technopolitical and visual paradigms. Surveillance cameras hang under the little roofs of church stalls which appear in favourable sites for large-scale construction, high-end cars parked nearby. Developers have another predatory strategy, whereby investors install small buildings with a cupola on them in the guise of a church or other religious building in public spaces in an attempt to clear these areas for further development.
