Aleksandr Lebedev-Frontov (ALF, 1960–2022) is a major figure of the Russian avant-garde, a pioneer of Soviet noise and a total artist working at the intersection of sound, collage, and ideology. Born in Leningrad, he developed a radical practice from the late 1970s onwards, drawing as much from Luigi Russolo and John Cage as from the experiments of Dziga Vertov.

Brought to wider attention in the mid-1990s through Sergei Kuryokhin, and closely linked to the newspaper Limonka, A.L.F. developed a singular aesthetic blending Dada, Constructivism and industrial culture, in the spirit of Hannah Höch.

This book presents his visual work through a chronological trajectory, from his early collages and works to the visuals and album covers of his musical projects. It reveals a distinctive graphic language, combining détourned propaganda, dark humor, and a deep obsession with the avant-gardes of the 20th century.

Through this journey, Lebedev-Frontov emerges as a key figure of post-Soviet underground culture: a radical, fiercely independent artist whose work remains completely unclassifiable.
