About the project
Global transformations are under way. The western civilization, which used to be the center of the cultural and scientific mainstream, is being destroyed by a global process of decolonization and the struggle for recognition of minority rights. In such circumstances, concerned Americans are turning to Soviet experience.
The project is a mausoleum to be placed in public spaces of American cities at intersections of streets. Unlike the Lenin Mausoleum, the object is a real public facility. Inside, there is a crystal box with a 3D copy of George Floyd's body, a lounge, a conference room, and an altar for rituals.
The most important thing is that the mausoleum is an inflatable, so that its assembly does not take a lot of time and money. In the centre, there is a place for fire, rituals and dances. On the outside, everything is like in the Moscow mausoleum.
