The repetition and succession of coloured planes gives vibrant rhythm to surfaces. Featuring the reconstruction of a Bauhaus projection as well as work by Christian Lebrat, Simon Payne, William Raban, Hans Richter, Walter Ruttmann and Paul Sharits, this programme presents films in which the square becomes a surface of dynamic exploration.
