The text focuses on the question of the transfer and translation of several Formalist concepts, such as ostranenie and tochka zrenia. The interpretation is based on Boris Uspensky’s A Poetics of Composition, it revisits the original definition provided Viktor Shklovsky and illustrates it by the work of the German photographer Barbara Probst.
