EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 165. Jumping; Pole Vaulting, 1885" captures a moment of intense athleticism frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work in capturing motion through sequential images. Part of Muybridge's iconic series "Animal Locomotion" this particular plate features a male athlete engaged in the daring sport of pole vaulting. The image reveals the precise movements and physical exertion required for such an athletic feat. With every muscle tensed and focused, the athlete propels himself into mid-air with remarkable agility. Muybridge's scientific approach to photography revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for early motion picture sequences. His meticulous study captured each stage of action frame by frame, offering invaluable insights into human locomotion. In this specific image, we witness not only the gracefulness but also the vulnerability of the human form as it defies gravity. The nudity adds an element of rawness and honesty to the composition, emphasizing both strength and vulnerability simultaneously. Displayed at Addison Gallery of American Art at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, USA. , this print is a testament to Muybridge's pioneering contributions to both art and science. It serves as a reminder that even within still images lies immense power to capture fleeting moments that reveal profound truths about our existence.
