A mobile construction of steel wood and plastic created to perform a “light play” by moving its part in front of colored light bulbs.
Moholy-Nagy worked on the Light-Space Modulator over the course of 9 years with the help of an engineer and a technician. Moholy-Nagy has described the kinetic sculpture as a “Gesamtkunstwerk composed of color, light, and movement”.
The Light-Space Modulator was supposed to perform a ‘light play’ on stage on its own and create a form of mechanical theater.
