Things to Come: An Off-Bauhaus Anniversary with Joyce Tsai

In 1936, the Bauhaus artist László Moholy-Nagy was hired to create a montage sequence for Things to Come, a sci-fi film scripted by famed author H.G. Wells. Telling the story of a world wrecked by global war, poison gas, and contagious epidemics before its eventual reconstruction, the film stands as both a reflection on the First World War and an uncanny prefiguration of the Second.
