The photographs by Aleksandr Rodchenko, taken from the most disturbing angles, are considered far too preoccupied with formal issues and therefore far-removed from contemporary social and historical processes. The artist, who introduced avant-garde photography in the Soviet Union, stands for the pursuit of formal innovation as a means to change people's perception and thereby transform them into a revolutionary society.
