László Moholy-Nagy’s long exposures dissociated the plasticity of space from the idea of concrete matter, defining volume equally through the “circumscription of mass” and the visual contour of motion by means of light. Similarly, his photograms suggested a way of not simply drawing with light, but of understanding physical movement as drawing in real space.
