Dziga Vertov’s ‘Man With a Movie Camera’ is widely regarded as the definitive modernist statement in film. What fate awaits it–and you, devoted reader–in the current era of political disarray and highspeed wireless traffic? This collection–over four years in the making–devoted to just a single frame of film may reveal the answer.
This is the Special Jubilee Edition of VERTOV FROM Z TO A in honor of the 90th Anniversary of the October Revolution.

Street Art San Francisco: Mission Muralismo by Annice Jacoby  ESCALATOR – Julie Murray

 Escalator mural on Clarion alley, San Francisco, is included in this recent publication. Made in 1993, the mural was rendered in compressed charcoal on gessoed surface and then sealed with coats of matt varnish. By 2014, having lasted 17 years, it finally succumbed and was obliterated. A  description I wrote of the process of making the mural was included in the book.
