Reverse Perspective

Rodtchenko est arrivé au début et Mikhaïlov à la fin. On voit s’éveiller, entre ces deux points, le renoncement à organiser l’espace graphique, le refus d’enrégimenter les signes plastiques, c’est-à-dire, aussi, le désir de se délester, l’envie de s’abandonner. Dans la série Color Backgrounds (Mikhaïlov travaille en effet comme son ainé par séries), il reste certes du papier couleur – de toutes les couleurs, et même les plus vives -, et des tirages photographiques. Les tirages sont collés sur les feuilles, plus ou moins en leur centre – qu’importe ? Le noir et blanc est posé sur la couleur. Cela peut ressembler aux pages d’un album de famille que l’on aurait voulu rendre plus gai.

Rodchenko arrived at the beginning, and Mikhaïlov at the end. Between the two, we see the beginnings of a reluctance to organize graphic space, a refusal to regiment plastic signs, which is to say, also, a desire to let go, to abandon the self. In the series Colored Background (Mikhaïlov, like his elder, works in series), colored paper remains—including all colors, even the brightest—as do photographic prints. The prints are glued onto sheets of paper, more or less in the center—but does it matter? Black-and-white is placed on color. It may evoke the pages of a family album that someone wanted to make more cheerful.
