EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Eadweard Muybridge, titled "Bird In Flight" we are transported back to the late 19th century. This series of twelve photographs showcases the various stages in the flight of a majestic cockatoo. Taken around 1887, Muybridge's innovative use of chronotography and montage techniques revolutionized the world of photography. The horizontal composition allows us to witness each fleeting moment as the cockatoo gracefully soars through the air. The white feathers of this magnificent bird contrast beautifully against the dark background, emphasizing its ethereal presence. Muybridge's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every frame, capturing not only the physicality but also the essence of avian motion. Each photograph freezes a specific stage in flight - from takeoff to landing - revealing intricate wing movements and showcasing nature's remarkable beauty. As we gaze upon these historical images, we are reminded of Muybridge's groundbreaking contributions to both art and science. His work paved the way for future innovations in film and visual storytelling, forever changing our perception of movement. This print serves as a testament to Muybridge's mastery behind the lens and his ability to capture fleeting moments that would otherwise go unnoticed. It invites us into a world where time stands still momentarily, allowing us to appreciate nature's wonders through an artist’s eye.
