Les Films de Brancusi

In the early 1920's, Man Ray, who had previously taught Constantin Brancusi how to handle a still camera, introduced him to the movie camera. These fifty-nine minutes of film, shot between 1923 and 1939, represent the sum total of all the images ever filmed by Brancusi. “The films comprise a series of explosive games with light and material, movement and frame, realised through countless experiments with the various conditions under which a single work of art can be captured.” (Centre George Pompidou, Images sans fin, 2011).
