Departing from the iconic project of Vladimir Tatlin’s Monument to the Third International, as well as the Siege of Leningrad, Rado continued to explore the historical as well as contemporary links between modernism and anti-modernism as manifested in art, architecture and ideology, and not least their role in occupation of various territories.
