Point of View / Hand with Compass (homage to El Lissitzky)

Point of ViewEl Lissitzky... Untitled (Hand with a Compass) 1924

i captured the color image about 3 weeks ago as i worked to “calibrate” my camera set up for the upcoming animation photo shoot. later when i was talking to Barbara Kasten in her studio i saw this black and white image by El Lissitzky. For some reason it resonated with the images of my hand / grid / pyramid piece that i’m obsessing about these days. Today at the library i found an El Lissitzky monograph, so i thought i’d put up my own version of the photomontage… El Lissitzky and his Proun works in particular were a big influence for me when i first started making installation works so it’s nice to come full circle in this fashion and by chance move in a similar orbit.
