Collage as a way of author’s self-reflection on the lyrics by Yegor Letov for the album “Pryg-skok”
The article examines the connection between several songs of the album “Pryg-skok” and the collage created by Yegor Letov for the cover of this album. Since the cover art is created later than the verbal and musical component of the album, the author of the article believes that it can be viewed from a self-reflection perspective. When creating the collage Letov probably had in mind symbolic and mythological interpretations of some animal images related to the themes of life and death, immortality and rebirth. Some of these animal images can also be found in the album’s lyrics. Thanks to combination of certain images on the collage can be established a connection that forms a kind of mini-cycles between individual songs of the album.
