EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 213. Lifting and Emptying Basket" captures a moment frozen in time from Eadweard Muybridge's groundbreaking series, "Animal Locomotion". Taken between 1872-85, this collotype print showcases Muybridge's pioneering work in early motion picture sequences. The image features a sequential study of a female figure engaged in an action: stooping down to lift and empty a wicker basket. The frames captured by Muybridge provide a scientific exploration of movement, offering valuable insights into the mechanics of human locomotion. Intriguingly, the subject is depicted nude, emphasizing the rawness and vulnerability of her actions. This artistic choice adds depth to the photograph as it explores not only physical movement but also the human form itself. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA; this print is part of Volume IV dedicated to women within Muybridge's comprehensive project on animal locomotion. It serves as an invaluable historical document that laid the foundation for modern cinematography. With its stark contrast and meticulous attention to detail, this collotype print invites viewers to appreciate both the technical mastery behind early photography techniques and the beauty found within everyday movements.
