Ballet Mécanique

A radical avant-garde visual poem that treats mechanical forms and everyday objects as pure aesthetic material, prioritizing formal experimentation and playful abstraction over narrative or emotional connection.

Ballet Mécanique is a Dadaist, post-Cubist art film conceived, written, and co-directed by the artist Fernand Léger in collaboration with the filmmaker Dudley Murphy. It has a musical score by the American composer George Antheil.
