Sepia 1970s film still of a tall linguist crouching in a flooded concrete room, measuring dark circular logograms suspended inside the water.

In a flooded concrete bunker inside an exclusion zone, a linguist compares his caliper measurements against dark, oil-like logograms suspended seamlessly within the rising water. Shot on a Mosfilm Kinor 35 with a LOMO Optar lens and struck as a sepia-toned monochrome print, the frame pairs crushed, heavily grained shadows with overexposed daylight blooming fiercely through a high, barred casement.
