Eifersucht
1927
László Moholy-Nagy, a Bauhaus master, created this wild photomontage in 1927 that feels like a visual puzzle about relationships. The title 'Gelosia' translates to 'jealousy' (and also a type of window blind), hinting at the tension between the figures. We see a woman in a vintage swimsuit stepping right out of a drawn frame, while a shadowy silhouette stands behind her. Thin white lines connect her to a man in a suit and a ghostly white figure holding a turtle in a separate box—it's like a diagram of emotional connections.
