  Sander, who was born in Herdorf, Germany in 1876, is most famous for his photo-documentary 
  project of the German people called Man in the Twentieth Century. The 
  Nazis banned this project, which depicted various social classes in their respective 
  settings, in the 1930s. Sander began his work as a photographer after 
  serving in the military in 1901. He specialized in architectural and industrial 
  photography. Sanders Spiral of Lightbulbs resembles the introduction 
  to Hitchcocks Vertigo. Both spiraled images purvey the viewer with 
  a feeling of vertigo, making this an appropriate sequence of images for the 
  introduction to the film Vertigo.  |
