EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 172. Stepping on a Trestle; Jumping Down, Turning" was taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1885. The image is part of his groundbreaking series called "Animal Locomotion" which aimed to study and capture movement through sequential photography. In this particular print, we see a woman dressed in a diaphanous white dress climbing up a trestle with grace and agility. Her translucent attire adds an ethereal quality to the scene as she navigates the obstacle before her. With each step, she exudes confidence and determination. Muybridge's collotype technique beautifully captures every detail of this dynamic moment, freezing it in time for us to appreciate its elegance. This early motion picture sequence serves as both art and scientific study, showcasing Muybridge's pioneering work in capturing motion through photography. The composition invites viewers to imagine the fluidity of movement within still frames, bridging the gap between photography and cinema. It reminds us that even seemingly ordinary actions can be transformed into extraordinary visual experiences when captured with precision. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print is a testament to Muybridge's lasting impact on both artistic expression and scientific exploration.
