Laszlo Moholy-Nagy – Dynamic of the Metropolis (Sketch for a film) – 1921/1922

December 17, 2011 by Fosco Lucarelli Leave a Comment

“The intention of the film “Dynamic of the Metropolis” is not to teach, nor to moralise, nor to tell a story; its effect is meant to be visual, purely visual.
The elements of the visual have not in this film an absolute logical connection with one another; their photographic, visual relationships, nevertheless, make them knit together into a vital association of events in space and time and bring the viewer actively into the dynamic of the city”
