Abstract

The following article seeks to present a historical retreat to understand how traditional book design was reformulated in the avant-garde period, especially the Russian one, from the incorporation of photography into its structure. In this process, we will focus on the study of the contamination between cinema, literature, illustrated magazines and newspapers, posters and exhibition design so that we can understand, historically, the hybrid aspect given to the photobook. We will focus on the production and theoretical reflections of the artist El Lissitzky (1890-1941) and the filmmakers Dziga Vertov (1896-1954) and Sergei Eisenstein (1898-1948), approximating them with the writings of the German philosopher Walter Benjamin (1892-1940).
