EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Plate 557. Local Chorea; A, B, C, While Standing" captures a moment frozen in time. Taken by the renowned photographer Eadweard Muybridge in 1885, this collotype print showcases his groundbreaking work on animal locomotion. The image depicts a sequence of frames capturing abnormal movements exhibited by an unidentified man. With scientific precision and artistic flair, Muybridge presents us with a study of movement that transcends time. The man's nude form stands as a symbol of vulnerability and rawness while his jerking motions reveal the neurological disorder known as chorea. Muybridge's pioneering stop-motion technique revolutionized early motion picture sequences and laid the foundation for modern cinema. Each frame tells its own story within this sequential composition, inviting viewers to delve into the intricate details of human motion. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing photograph from the Addison Gallery of American Art collection at Phillips Academy in Andover, MA, we are transported back to an era where science met artistry. The bald-headed man with a distinctive mustache becomes both subject and object—an embodiment of movement frozen forever in time. Gifted by the Edwin J. Beinecke Trust to preserve its historical significance, this timeless piece serves as a testament to Muybridge's genius and his invaluable contribution to photography and scientific exploration alike.
