Eye of Svilova, in whose pupils a portrait of Vertov appears
|
||
| Photo-montage which - according to Svilova - Vertov made with the help of Svilova's right eye. The portrait of Vertov using illumination from below may derive from the series of photographs designed by Aleksandr Rodčenko. That would date the photo-montage to 1931, more likely even 1929. | ||
