PHOTOGRAPHY AS A NEW VISUAL LANGUAGE IN REVOLUTIONARY RUSSIA. THE CASE OF GROUP LEF (1923-1928)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article has as an object of study the conception of photography developed by the LEF Group. The study shows that its members, despite their theoretical differences, advocated for a notion of photographic image as visual text. They follow the theoretical guidelines of Constructivism not only as a formal artistic style but also as a constructor of the Russian Revolution. The first part of the text describes the conformation of the group and its principals theoretical foundations. The second part specifically recovers the notion of photography developed by the group and analyzes, through documents, the broad vision of the photography that the group created as a semiotic process. The purpose of this article is to promote a research field that has not yet been fully explored, the photographic aesthetics.
