Yesterday's Sandwich
This reading was written by Boris Mikhailov a Russian photographer who inadequately superimposed two slides together and created a montage of different images. He would call the series a 'Sandwich' which could never be exhibited for people to see. There was a well known official Serguei Morozov that Mikhailov showed his series to who refused to let him to exhibit his series to the public due to the content he had in his images. Also the story about one of the greatest post-war Soviet photographers Vitas Luckus who was offended about his work and let the anger out to kill a man over it was very crazy! To think a man at his peak would let a simple criticism destroy his whole life and career. I also enjoyed the part when Mikhailov highlighted the different countries montages and how they were all different. Lastly i found it really interesting when he spoke about his "Creative life" and the three traditions of Russian culture that survived during the Soviet regiem.
