| Description: | "Things to Come" was an exhibition at Site Gallery in Sheffield during which a 16mm film of the same name was produced. Working from a series of unpublished photographs a large, highly abstract, metal and glass model based on Laszlo Moholy-Nagy’s set designs of a ‘future city’ originally made for the 1936 science fiction film Things to Come was built in the gallery space. From this model the 16mm film was shot imagining what an audience would have seen had the director, William Cameron Menzies, actually included Moholy-Nagy’s footage in the finished film. It was claimed that these images, now lost, were “so rich a visual result that the editor did not dare use them”. | |||||||||
