Special Effect for “Things to Come”
A striking gelatin silver print by László Moholy-Nagy, this work was created as a special effect for the 1936 science fiction film *Things to Come*. Moholy-Nagy's experimental approach is evident in the dynamic interplay of light, shadow, and abstract form, reflecting his deep engagement with the Bauhaus aesthetic and the expressive potential of photography. The image exemplifies his belief in the camera as a tool for expanding human perception and visualizing a bold, modernist vision of the future.
