Exploring the intersection of photography and experimental image-making, Photographs and Photograms presents a visual investigation into the boundaries of light, form, and abstraction. Moholy-Nagy employs photograms to challenge traditional photographic representation, emphasizing the materiality and physical interaction of objects with light.
The images in this collection reflect a modernist approach that blurs the lines between photography, design, and fine art. The book’s 150 pages, published by Pantheon in 1980, offer a compact yet profound survey of Moholy-Nagy’s seminal contributions to avant-garde photographic techniques and visual theory.
