For this assignment I chose a poem by Josef Brodsky. This poem is about communism and its effect on people and culture. I wanted to work with this poem in a visual way. So i started with the poem written out with a picture of barber wire as the background. I wanted to portray the distortion of truth through the generation. As stories move from person to person the story changes and gets distorted until it ends up having yes a similar structure but is different from the original. Thats what I attempted to do with this visual poem. There are three steps and at each step the initial meaning of the writing changes and become unrecognizable to anyone who does not know the original.
