Cashing in on the "fascination in catastrophe and disaster" that keeps the internet well-stocked in ruin porn and eerie abandoned building photography, Ukrainian photographers Vitaliy and Elena Vasilieva used photo manipulation to hurl famous architectural icons into desolate wastelands, resulting in bleak, seriously surreal new landscapes.
