This monumental steel structure, both celebrated and abhorred by his contemporaries, aroused a form of fascination in photographers of the New Vision such as Germaine Krull, Florence Henri or László Moholy-Nagy. Moholy-Nagy visited Marseille in 1928-1929 and took photographs and a film from the upper part of the transporter bridge. A true icon of the modern world in motion (about which Walter Benjamin wrote), this bridge was the place par excellence for plunging views, tight framing aimed at abstraction, and finally for exploring the optical possibilities offered by photography. László Moholy-Nagy's artistic program, which emphasized the study of the third dimension, new points of view and the effects of light on surfaces, found in the transporter bridge the ideal subject for this new photography. The period print presented here, of which we know no equivalent in this format, was used for the photogravure of the articles written by Sibyl Moholy-Nagy and published in L'Art d'Aujourd'hui in 1951.
