Marcello Nizzoli

ca. 1924 · Halftone · Photographs

Nizzoli's folded collage pleats two newspaper portraits together. As the viewer scans the work from right to left, the face of the matinée idol is gradually replaced by the smiling face of another person. Thus the angle of vision determines the content of the image.
