EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Animal Locomotion" (plate 59), we are transported back to the year 1887, where Eadweard Muybridge masterfully captures a sequence featuring a running man. The image showcases the incredible ability of Muybridge to freeze time and dissect movement in its purest form. The subject of this photograph is a male figure, depicted in his most vulnerable state - nude and devoid of any distractions or embellishments. This raw portrayal allows us to focus solely on the human body's intricate mechanics as it propels itself forward with remarkable agility. Muybridge's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously documents each stage of the man's stride. From the initial lift-off, when both feet momentarily leave the ground, to mid-air suspension before landing again, every nuance is captured with precision. It is through these sequential shots that we gain insight into how our bodies function during locomotion. Beyond being an artistic masterpiece, this photograph serves as a testament to Muybridge's groundbreaking scientific contributions. His pioneering work in motion studies revolutionized our understanding of human and animal locomotion, forever changing fields such as biomechanics and sports science. As we gaze upon this timeless image from Alinari, we are reminded not only of Muybridge's genius but also of our own inherent ability for graceful movement. It prompts us to marvel at the wonders of our physicality while contemplating how far we have come since that distant era captured by his lens.
