This presentation focuses on the specific examples of Czech, Polish, Soviet, and Yugoslav interwar avant-garde poetry books, all illustrated by photomontages or diverse techniques involving photographic material. I trace different artistic practices—such as staged photography, the use of documentary footage, photo-factography, along with the typography, photo- and page-montage—employed by the avant-garde cine-poetry to endow the verbal-visual representation with a performative quality and engender active production of experience. This project proposes to establish the cinepoetry book as a specific hybrid and collaborative cross-over genre between literature and visual culture, and a sort of visual, if not visionary, technology for the aesthetic-ideological-socio-political imaginary production and circulation.
