Oskar Fischinger’s *Composition in Blue* is a seminal work of visual music that prioritizes aesthetic theory over the depiction of human identity. By utilizing absolute abstraction, the film eschews traditional narrative elements like characterization, dialogue, and setting. Instead, it focuses on the synchronization of geometric shapes with Paul Hindemith’s score, functioning as a formalist exploration of rhythm and color. Since the work does not engage with social representation, it lacks the narrative infrastructure needed to address characters who reflect more than one aspect of diversity or the subversion of social hierarchies. Its contribution lies in the evolution of visual language rather than engagement with cultural politics.
