From the Radio Tower, Berlin
1928
László Moholy-Nagy wasn't just observing the world; he was looking down on it—literally. Taken in 1928 from the dizzying height of the Berlin Radio Tower, this photograph transforms a simple park and industrial building into a striking geometric abstraction. The winding dark paths and circular plaza look less like a public garden and more like a blueprint for a futuristic machine. This shot is a perfect example of 'New Vision' photography, a movement where Bauhaus artists used extreme angles to force viewers to see everyday reality in completely new, abstract ways.
