EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured in 1887 by Eadweard Muybridge, titled "Animal Locomotion" (plate 490), we are transported back in time to witness a unique sequence involving an old man. The image showcases the fascinating movements of this elderly individual as he sits naked on a chair, engrossed in making gestures with a funnel while water flows through it. The composition of the photograph is striking, highlighting both the physical and psychological aspects of old age. With every movement meticulously frozen in time, Muybridge's lens captures not only the physiological intricacies but also delves into the deeper emotional realm that comes with aging. The absence of clothing accentuates vulnerability and exposes raw humanity. This portrait challenges societal norms by presenting nudity as a means to explore human nature beyond superficial appearances. It invites us to contemplate our own mortality and reflect upon the inevitable changes our bodies undergo over time. The choice of using a funnel adds an element of intrigue to the scene, suggesting perhaps an allegorical representation or symbolizing life's experiences being poured out onto this aged figure. As viewers, we are left wondering about his story – what led him here? What thoughts occupy his mind? Muybridge's mastery lies not only in capturing motion but also evoking emotions through his subjects. Through this thought-provoking photograph from Alinari collection PDC-A-004695-0490, we are reminded that beauty can be found even within unconventional moments or unexpected stages of life.
