Eadweard Muybridge: Human and Animal Locomotion

Muybridge’s ambitious photographic project aimed to represent human and animal motion rendered across time, and from various angles. Produced between 1884 and 1887, the series has influenced generations of artists, and inspired scientific and photographic innovation, including motion picture technology.
