Secret of Dada Lagoon

On 16 September 1890, Louis Le Prince, the first person to shoot a moving picture sequence using a single lens camera, vanished. After taking a train to Paris, he was never seen again by his family or friends. 31 years earlier, (16 Sept. 1859) Lake Nyasa in Africa had been discovered by British explorer David Livingstone.
Years after those seemingly unrelated events, tales of weird gigantic sculpted objects that haunted the lake’s waters started spreading among the natives…Trout Art historians were proved once again right! These anonymous pieces of art in the great workshop of nature, were the works of French sculptor, painter and poet Jean Arp (born Sept 16 1886).
What follows is ultra rare footage of the unknown exploration of Louis and David through Jean’s tenebrous Dada Lagoon.
