Man Ray - Retour a Raison - 1923


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3nrGKWMaX-4

This film directed by Man Ray consists of animated textures and rayographs, which are images made without a camera by placing objects directly onto the surface of a photo-sensitive material and then exposing it to light, and solarised images which are learning mistakes. The film plays with ideas and images and reflects the values of the Dada movement which said that experimenting with concepts and ideas was the work.
Also to keep in mind the limited camera skills and knowledge, because by now the camera is still relatively new, 1895/6 was the first use of the camera.
