Photogram.

Moholy-Nagy came to embrace new techniques and technologies in photography such as photomontage and photograms (cameraless photography); for him, these were much more than new kinds of pictures; they were technologies to unlock modern life. Once the Bauhaus moved to Dessau in 1925, photograms would become one of Moholy-Nagy's primary means of artistic expression. Energy and light are the phenomena to which Moholy-Nagy explored with an enthusiasm bordering on sheer obsession, both in his art itself and in his related aesthetic theories. Light for Moholy-Nagy however was at once the theme and the medium, the subject and the substance, the content and the form. (Herbert Molderings).

The legacy of Hungarian artist Laszlo Moholy-Nagy is among the most cherished in the lineage of photographic art, and he can be defined as a visionary whose radical experiments with photography entirely re-imagined the possibilities for the medium. Working in the early 20th century when photography was not considered a form of high art, Moholy-Nagy actively sought to break down boundaries and find new languages of photographic discourse. In doing so, he left behind an oeuvre of visual ideas that have provided artistic license to a century’s worth of photographers to experiment boldly beyond the conventional definitions of what photography is expected to be.
