Special effects for the H.G. Wells - A. Korda film, Things to Come 1936

"Special effects for the H.G. Wells - A. Korda film, Things to Come," created in 1936 by László Moholy-Nagy, showcases the artist's exploration of abstract forms and their application to cinematic special effects. The photograph captures a series of geometric shapes, some hanging, some standing, against a stark grey backdrop. The play of light and shadow across these objects highlights their textural qualities, suggesting the futuristic vision of the film. Moholy-Nagy, a key figure in the Bauhaus movement, was known for his experimentation with photography and his innovative approach to art and technology. This work reflects his commitment to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression, blurring the lines between art, design, and film.
