For the past few years, I have been researching early cinema, motion picture display methods and the development of the subsequent technologies. This animation is compiled by appropriating Eadweard Muybridge‘s human motion studies, specifically his studies of women. I was intrigued by his relationship to women in his life and what I saw in his motion study photographs. I wanted to give back the power that was taken from her by the camera, made still in time, by animating her movements in to a new narrative in a new place and time. The animation was made by cutting out photocopies of the relevant sequences of Muybridge’s motion studies of women. Then the animation was choreographed by photographing each paper cutout placed on my studio window so that due to the camera angle, the figure is composed on to the apartment building across. |
