EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 406. Two Models, 8 Pouring Bucket of Water Over 1" captures a moment frozen in time by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge. Taken between 1872-1885, this collotype print showcases two nude female models engaged in a playful act of pouring water over each other. Part of Muybridge's groundbreaking series "Animal Locomotion" this image is from Volume IV dedicated to women. It exemplifies his scientific approach to photography, capturing movement through sequential frames. The stop-motion technique used here foreshadows early motion picture sequences and highlights Muybridge's significant contributions to the development of film. In this particular frame, we witness the joyous laughter and lightheartedness shared between the models as they engage in their bath ritual. Their nakedness adds an element of vulnerability and natural beauty to the scene while emphasizing the study of human movement. The composition beautifully captures the splash and splatter created by the cascading water, freezing it in mid-air for eternity. The cold pail held by one model adds a touch of realism to this otherwise ethereal moment. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA, this print serves as a testament to Muybridge's mastery as both an artist and scientist. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where art meets science—a world that celebrates movement, exploration, and our shared humanity
