EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 102. Turning and Ascending Stairs, Bucket Water in Rt Hand" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872 and 1885 as part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. In this particular image from Volume III, we see a nude female figure gracefully ascending a staircase while carrying a bucket of water in her right hand. The woman's long hair is neatly braided, adding to the sense of movement captured within each frame. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of human locomotion and paved the way for future advancements in cinematography. His meticulous study of sequential movement allowed him to capture moments that were previously invisible to the naked eye. Displayed at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, this print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and an invaluable scientific document. It offers viewers a glimpse into Muybridge's groundbreaking exploration of motion through photography. The juxtaposition of nudity with scientific inquiry adds depth to this thought-provoking image. It challenges societal norms while highlighting the beauty and complexity inherent in human movement. This remarkable photograph continues to captivate audiences today with its timeless allure and enduring significance within the history of art and science.
