This fantasy work could be attributed to both Constructivism and Suprematism if it were not for a technique unexpected for these styles – the image of several figures of people. These are photographs of people who are standing, sitting, walking, and busy with something. The center of the composition is the globe. The modern city that is being built and inhabited by people goes far beyond its borders. The constructivist buildings are multi-level and, according to the author’s intention, functional and convenient. Gustavs Klucis created several works with a similar composition. Art critics see the similarity between these architectural structures and the famous pro-holes of El Lissitzky.
