Abstract

A brief essay demonstrating an approach to writing about material objects. This essay takes the example of a Soviet export camera – The Cosmic Symbol – and explores the contradictions between the form and design of the camera, its origins in the Soviet Union and its appropriation in the 1970s and today.
