EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 17. Walking" is a print from Eadweard Muybridge's renowned series "Animal Locomotion". Created between 1872 and 1885, this collotype on paper captures the essence of motion in a mesmerizing way. Measuring at 16.4x45.1 cm, this particular plate features a sequence of frames showcasing the movement of a woman walking. As one of Muybridge's scientific studies, it exemplifies his groundbreaking work in early motion picture sequences and stop-motion photography. The image portrays a female figure with long hair confidently striding forward in her natural state - nude. The nudity adds an element of vulnerability to the composition while emphasizing the study of movement itself. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Phillips Academy, Andover, MA, USA, this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into Muybridge's exploration of sequential imagery and its significance within scientific photography. With each frame capturing a distinct moment within the walking sequence, this photograph invites contemplation on how we perceive motion and how our bodies move through space. It serves as both an artistic expression and an invaluable scientific tool that continues to inspire researchers today. As you gaze upon this intriguing piece by Eadweard Muybridge captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, let your imagination wander into the realm where art meets science – where beauty intertwines with knowledge – all frozen within these timeless frames.
