EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a fascinating moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. This collotype print showcases one of the many sequences from his groundbreaking work "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. In this particular frame, we witness a woman gracefully entering a hammock with an air of ease and confidence. The photograph beautifully emphasizes the fluidity of her movements as she reclines on the suspended rope sling. Her smile suggests a sense of relaxation and contentment, inviting viewers to imagine themselves enjoying such tranquil moments. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography is evident here, as he meticulously studied human movement through sequential frames. His pioneering stop-motion technique laid the foundation for early motion picture sequences and revolutionized our understanding of motion itself. The nudity depicted in this image should not overshadow its artistic significance or detract from its scientific purpose. Rather, it serves as a testament to Muybridge's commitment to capturing authentic human form and movement without societal constraints. This remarkable piece now resides at the Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. It stands as both an important historical artifact and a timeless celebration of human grace and beauty captured through the lens of one visionary artist.
