EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 161. Jumping; Standing High Jump, 1872-85" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image showcases a sequence of frames depicting a man performing a standing high jump with remarkable athleticism and precision. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887, this collotype print offers an early glimpse into the world of motion picture sequences. With meticulous attention to detail, Muybridge's scientific approach revolutionized the study of movement through photography. In this particular frame, we witness the male subject suspended mid-air as he defies gravity with his impressive leap. His nude form adds an element of vulnerability and rawness to the composition, emphasizing both the physicality and grace required for such athletic feats. The stark contrast between light and shadow enhances the dramatic impact of this image while highlighting every muscle engaged in propelling him upwards. It serves as a testament to human strength, determination, and our innate ability to push beyond perceived limitations. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA. , USA. , this print is not only an artistic masterpiece but also a significant historical document that continues to inspire contemporary photographers today.
