PHOTOS: Spyholes of Europe

These beautiful abstract shots may look like far-off planets, but they are actually spyholes from locations dotted across Europe - many linked to the likes of the KGB. Named SURVEILLANCE, the project features ominous peep holes from the likes of a KGB headquarters in Vilnius, Lithuania, to prisons and locations linked to the Stasi, the East German secret police. Shot against a blacked-out backdrop, the images look like they would be right at home in a modern art gallery - but putting a finger on their actual sinister use may take some guessing. This was the intention of photographer Valentyn Odnoviun, who travelled to prisons in the likes of Lithuania, Latvia, Ukraine, Estonia, Germany and Poland in order to build out this unique series.
