EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 184. Walking on Hands and Feet" is a remarkable print by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Created between 1872-1885, this collotype on paper captures a moment of extraordinary motion and action. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular image belongs to Volume III dedicated to women in various poses. The artist's scientific approach to photography shines through as he meticulously studies movement through sequential frames. In this specific frame, we witness a woman gracefully defying gravity as she walks on her hands and feet. Her body is crouched low, displaying strength and flexibility while exuding an air of elegance. The absence of clothing adds an element of vulnerability, highlighting the raw beauty of the human form. Muybridge's pioneering work laid the foundation for early motion picture sequences and stop-motion techniques that revolutionized both artistry and science. This print serves as a testament to his dedication in capturing moments often unseen by the naked eye. Now housed at the Addison Gallery of American Art in Andover, MA, USA, this exquisite piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. It stands as a reminder that even in stillness captured within a single frame lies immense power waiting to be unleashed through artistic vision and scientific exploration.
