Examples

  • This technique involves taking things out of their context as a means of seeing them and "using an impeded [zatrudnënnaya] form that increases the degree of difficulty and the length of perception, for the process of perception in art is self-valuable and must be prolonged; art is a means for experiencing the making [delan'ye] of an object, and what is made [sdelannoye] in art is not important."
