Artists (statement ) of The Day: Aleksander Mikhailovich Rodchenko

 

 

Aleksander Rodchenko - untitled 1930

We don’t see, what we observe. We don’t see, what we look at. We don’t see the extraordinary perspectives and the shortenings of objects. We, who have been taught to see ordinary and educated, we need to rediscover the world of visibility. We need to revolutionise our optical cognition. We need to tear off the veil in front of our eyes, which is called from the navel.

- Alexander Rodchenko
