Essentials: Modernity

Essentials: Modernity presents films by artists who adapted the evolving languages of cinema and the technologies of the moving image to convey the experience of modernity. From the rhythms of mass production in Fernand Léger's Ballet Mechnique to the warps of mass consumption in Mark Leckey's Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore, Essentials: Modernity presents work that looks at the social, environmental, and psychological impact of new industry, architecture, and design.
