After Muybridge
2005, 16mm film, mute, 3mins 11 secs, looped
This work employs a four by three metre backdrop made from wood, string, and cloth, emulating the one used by Muybridge in his well-known photographic series.
Passers-by and shoppers who chanced past the frame, which was erected opposite an alley way at the back of the artist’s studio in Glasgow, were filmed using a high-speed (slow motion) film camera.
A dialogue is established with the original Muybridge series, with both works using state of the art (for their day) motion analysis equipment.
Mark Neville is based in London, UK.
