It began with research into the myth of Hyperborea, followed by an exploration of the Aral Sea. Now Anton Ginzburg's eye has been drawn to the epoch of Constructivism, concluding a fascinating trilogy of books. As an artist and a researcher, Ginzburg takes a critical look at the works of famous constructivists such as Rodchenko, Tatlin, and the VkhUTEMAS.
