EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 268. Arising from the Ground, 1885" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. The image is part of his groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" published in 1887. In this particular frame, we see a woman standing up from the ground with an air of determination. Her naked figure showcases her vulnerability and strength simultaneously. However, it is not just her form that catches our attention; it is also her size. With an emphasis on obesity and excess weight, Muybridge challenges societal norms and perceptions of beauty. The collotype printing technique used to create this print adds depth and texture to the image, enhancing its visual impact. Each detail is meticulously captured, allowing us to study every curve and contour of the subject's body. Muybridge's work was revolutionary for its time as he pioneered stop-motion photography techniques that would later influence early motion picture sequences. This scientific approach to capturing movement allowed him to dissect human locomotion like never before. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of the power inherent in both stillness and motion - how they coexist within a single frame. It serves as a testament to Muybridge's genius as well as his dedication towards unraveling the mysteries of human movement through his lens.
