László Moholy-Nagy used light as primary factor in the creation of space and movement, much as Van Doesburg viewed film as a form of architecture with light. This screening examines games of light and form by Moholy-Nagy and also Isabelle Cornaro, George Cup, Werner Graeff, Hy Hirsh, Igor & Svetlana Kopystiansky, Joost Rekveld, and Steina Vasulka.
