A video essay through which Vlada Petrić pays homage to the legendary avant-garde artist László Moholy-Nagy, a Bauhaus pioneer known for his exploration of light, motion, and kinetic sculpture. Drawing inspiration from Moholy-Nagy’s 1930 kinetic piece Light Modulator, featured in the experimental film Ein Lichtspiel: Schwarz, Weiss, Grau, Petrić reinterprets every frame of the original film, incorporating Dziga Vertov’s theories of interval and montage. Through this approach, he carefully deconstructs then reconstructs the sequences creating a fresh narrative rhythm and adding experimental depth
