About this artwork
This cubic sculpture presents El Lissitzky's 1924 self-portrait photo collage as a transparent image mounted between two acrylic panels. The work brings together the artist's portrait, architectural tools, the familiar hand motif and the large letters XYZ through the superimposition of two photographs.
The clear photographic print is held within a handmade metal frame. Depending on the available natural or artificial lighting, the transparent composition can project a focused shadow onto the surrounding surface and add another visual layer to the work. The sculpture can hang on a wall or stand on a desk, bookshelf or table.
The subject connects Russian avant-garde photography, architecture and Constructivist graphic design. It may suit an architect, engineer, designer, art-history reader or collector of El Lissitzky imagery.
