Spatial Constructions was a series of three projects executed by Russian Constructivist artist Aleksandr Rodchenko between 1918 and 1921. For these projects Rodchenko would give himself certain restrictions, such as using a single geometric shape, cut in concentric bands of regular width. When flat, each sculpture would form this unitary shape, but when fanned out it would form a three dimensional object like the ones pictured above. Unfortunately, most of these creations have been lost to time and only photographs and sketches remain.
