Shostakovich and Football — The Match Score
A Russian cultural documentary project connecting Dmitri Shostakovich, Petersburg football, and the history of the city through a film, book, lectures, and digital archive.
Field notes
The project uses several formats to approach the same historical subject: a documentary film, a book built from historical documents, public lectures, contemporary character studies, and a digital archive. Its central interface is a timeline that places Shostakovich’s life above events in Petersburg and Soviet football, inviting visitors to drag or scroll through the parallel chronology. The homepage frames the comparison through recurring civic spaces and collective rituals, including the stage, stadium, square, orchestra, and team.
