Len Lye’s film for the GPO….
Len Lye - Peanut Vendor
Some of the earliest experiments with stop motion animation - this is from 1933.
Len Lye exhibition is on at ACMI in Melbourne - highly recommended. Expermental film effects including the application of enamel and pattern. Len directed films advertising Shell, Imperial Airways and the British Post Office. Truly groundbreaking.
The exhibition also features some whacked out kinetic sculptures and beautiful paintings influenced by his travels in the South Pacific, particularly Samoa.
And it’s free.
