Erwin Piscator entering the Nollendorftheater, Berlin 1929

Sasha Stone's 1929 photograph, "Erwin Piscator entering the Nollendorftheater, Berlin," is a striking example of photomontage. Piscator, a renowned German theatre director, is rendered as a giant figure walking into the theater, his body superimposed over a scaffolding-covered building and a billboard announcing his upcoming performance. This visual juxtaposition highlights the immense scale of Piscator's influence on the theater world, with the stark black and white tones enhancing the dramatic effect. The photograph serves as a testament to Piscator's cultural impact, showcasing the dynamism of Berlin's artistic scene in the late 1920s.
