LOST UTOPIAS Since 2007, Doskow has been photographing the remaining architecture, art, and landscaping of international world’s fairs, highlighting the complexities of what we choose to preserve, discard, repurpose, or memorialize on our shared urban sites. This series has been internationally exhibited and reviewed; the monograph of the project, Lost Utopiasl was published by Black Dog London in 2017. In 2021 the film ‘Jade Doskow, Photographer of Lost Utopias,’ was released by Philip Shane / Hundred Waters Films.
