Ballet mécanique (1924)

A rhythmic, pulsating collage of disjointed human forms and relentless machinery. Cylinders spin, gears churn, and kitchen objects rotate in hypnotic patterns. A figure is caught in perpetual motion—climbing stairs, swinging back and forth. Mechanical repetition blurs the line between human and machine, as distorted shapes and fragmented bodies dissolve into a chaotic dance, enveloping the viewer in a mesmerizing mechanical universe.
