Marcel Duchamp aimed to integrate art with the mind, best exemplified in his 1926 film Anémic Cinéma. The film utilizes optical illusions, known as Rotoreliefs, which spin and alternate with puns and intricate wordplay. This innovative work demonstrates the interconnection of vision, language, and thought, aligning with Dadaist aesthetics. Anémic Cinéma has been preserved and is available in a restored version for viewing. Duchamp collaborated with Man Ray and cinematographer Marc Allégret in its production, contributing to the avant-garde movement of the time.
