Light painting on hinged celluloid (position 1) 1936

"Light painting on hinged celluloid (position 1)" is a 1936 work by László Moholy-Nagy, a pioneer of abstract photography. The image captures the movement of light as it interacts with celluloid, creating dynamic lines and shapes, exploring the interplay of light, form, and movement. This experimental work reflects Moholy-Nagy's fascination with the technical possibilities of photography and its ability to depict abstract concepts. The image is a striking example of his exploration of light as a sculptural medium and his contribution to the development of abstract photography.
