Looking back at the 1924 milestone that is Ballet mécanique, the specific unique vision of this work is a gateway to a broader Short world. Our archive is rich with titles that mirror the unique vision of Fernand Léger.
As Fernand Léger's most celebrated work, it defines to create a dialogue between the viewer and the unique vision.
A pulsing, kaleidoscope of images set to an energetic soundtrack. A young women swings in a garden; a woman's face smiles. The rest is spinning cylinders, pistons, gears and turbines, kitchen objects in concentric circles or rows - pots, pan lids, and funnels, cars passing overhead, a spinning carnival ride. Over and over, a heavy-set woman climbs stairs carrying a large bag on her shoulder. An Art Deco cartoon figure appears, dancing. This is a world in motion, dominated by mechanical and repetitive images, with a few moments of solitude in a garden.
