In the film-stills, the constructivist
focus can be observed through
bare natural textures of structures.
Exter combines metallic
geometric constructions, such as
interlinked red stairs and elevated
walkways. These allow for new
types of cinematic/theatrical
circulation and allows for a degree
of improvisation. Exter believed
this architectonic set typology
would better relate to dramatic
movement and the internal
rhythm of performance. She
believed her role as set designer
was to improve performance
by providing the actor with
unobstructed space.
