Qui êtes vous, Eadweard Muybridge

Eadweard Muybridge’s pioneering work and research concerning photography and motion pictures remains legendary up to today.  Inventor of the zoopraxiscope, a method of projecting animated versions of photographs as short moving sequences, he created a series of internationally acclaimed images capturing humans and animals in motion.  Muybridge influenced artists like Marcel Duchamp and Francis Bacon, to name but a few, whereas a few years ago Tate Britain held a unique exhibition dedicated to his ingenious work.
