aheadofthekrautsWhereβs this from please? Looks amazing.
KrydexI think itβs a pre-war Benito Mussolini propaganda poster
wow, I was assuming metropolis. it just screams dystopia to me, but I guess they had to get that aesthetic from somewhere
It was certainly a dystopia for many people. Such places have existed many times before. We shouldnβt take our freedom for granted.
There's a distinction to be made between things that "look" dystopian, and actual dystopias. I think a lot of our current visual language of dystopia was taken from fascist/communist design choices which were in many respects independent of all the oppression they perpetrated. this example really drove that home for me, since the media it inspired came to mind before the reality.
Thatβs an interesting line of thought. Can one see it truly as independent from their oppression? Perhaps this type of propaganda is innate to what it truly is, and any such oppressive system might be incapable of not using it.
