USSR in Construction

"USSR in Construction" offers some of the greatest examples of early 20th-century photomontage. With elements such as oversized pages and multi-page fold-outs, each issue exists as an elaborate artistic creation. As a whole, the series is a monument to the energy, innovation and dynamism of the Russian avant-garde, and proves that even in a society held hostage by a highly repressive and restrictive totalitarian state, the creative spirit can endure.
