LOBSTERS

by László MOHOLY-NAGY
1936 / b&w / silent / 1 screen / 16' 00

"[Lobsters], however, reveals [...] Moholy-Nagy’s personality because in it his interest in biology finds expression. This film [...] reflects perfectly the enthusiasm and excitement the artist feels when the disproportionately enlarged and misshapen creatures collide or when he succeeds in rendering their strange movements. [...] At the same time, the film has an aesthetic side too, which harks back to the artist’s earlier studies in transparency: he studies the combined play of water, air and light, and the beauty of this play, with as much fascination as the struggles of the animals." – Krisztina Passuth
