Стереоскопическая образность графической поэзии Ильи Зданевичa

The article examines the stereoscopic imagery of Il'ia Zdanevich's graphic dramas LidantYu fAram (1923), ZgA Yakaby (1920) and his poem collection, Bustrofedon v zerkale (Boustrophedon in the mirror; 1971). In his experimental futuristic works, simultaneously verbal and visual, the author focused on setting up a stereoscopic space and constructing a graphic illusion within it. Three-dimensional perception and stereovision arise as a consequence of visualizing a particular image on a book page, as constructed by the poet. These visual images made of letters are intended to refer the reader to the liberating experience of space, as well as to the top of the pyramid of vision - hence the absence of a vanishing point, of a horizon and of a ground line. The image thus represents a plurality of viewpoints. The poet imagines the visible world as the world of optics, with an important role assigned to the mirror motif. The stylistics of a mirrored palindrome provides additional visual capability to the zaum'. The visual look of zaum' words was meant to help make its nature more relevant.
