The Genius of Photography 摄影演义后传- 7

In the course of our 170 year relationship, photography has delighted us, served us, moved us, outraged us and occasionally disappointed us. But mainly, it has intrigued us by showing the secret strangeness that lies beneath the world of appearances. And that is photography"s true genius.

Radical photographic style was combined with cutting-edge graphics, in a magazine called ‘USSR in Construction’, designed by Rodchenko, it was a showcase of political propaganda glorifying the achievements of the Soviet system.

“So this is the famous parachute. And this is a bit of what’s really fantastic. Yeah, so then you have this amazing foldout, origami style. This, the bottom, of course, what we’re gonna find is a different Stalin, of course. This is not a deluxe edition, this, this is an ordinary edition, because in the deluxe one, this is physically a cloth or paper parachute that sticks out, even more dramatic than this, but still pretty good.”

USSR in Construction displays Rodchenko’s mastery of photomontage, a graphic technique that took its cue from cinema montage. Rodchenko’s photomontages treated photographs as raw footage, suppressing their individuality, collectivizing their energies, cutting, pasting, retouching and re-photographing them to conjure up dizzying visions of the future.

But photomontage also shows up photographs for what they really are---mute documents whose meaning remains fluid.

“There is in photography something quite radically open in terms of the meaning of an image. Meaning is something that usually needs to be pinned down from outside. This is why photography has grown up with the caption, this is why it’s grown up with photojournalism. Photography can serve, can be put at the disposal of a set of ideas, a political ideology. Its character as a functional record can be harnessed in one way or another.”

Rodchenko harnessed photography to greatest effect in an issue of USSR in Construction devoted to the White Sea Canal, trumpeted at home and abroad as a triumph of Soviet engineering and enlightened Soviet penal policies. The canal would be built by criminals and other social undesirables who would be rehabilitated through labor. Rodchenko traveled to the canal to take the photographs that would provide the raw material for this masterpiece of political propaganda.
