EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable combination of two groundbreaking inventions from the late 19th century. In the center, we see a chronophotograph captured by Etienne-Jules Marey, a renowned French scientist, physiologist, and chronophotographer. The image depicts a running man frozen in time, his body suspended mid-stride as if caught in an eternal moment. Marey's pioneering work in capturing multiple frames of motion laid the foundation for modern cinematography. Flanking either side of the chronophotograph are wood engravings showcasing another revolutionary device known as the Praxinoscope. Invented by Charles-Emile Reynaud in 1877, this early animation device was considered to be the successor to its predecessor, the zoetrope. With its intricate system of mirrors and rotating strips of images inside a cylindrical drum, it brought still pictures to life through rapid movement. The juxtaposition of these two innovations encapsulates a pivotal era when science and art converged to push boundaries and explore new possibilities. This print serves as both a testament to human ingenuity and an artistic representation of our fascination with capturing fleeting moments in time. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from 1888, we are reminded that even amidst technological advancements today, these early pioneers paved the way for our modern visual storytelling techniques – forever changing how we perceive motion and bringing us closer to understanding our own physicality.
