Abstract

Eadweard James Muybridge était un photographe anglais important pour son travail pionnier dans les études photographiques du mouvement, et ses premiers travaux dans la projection cinématographique. Dans les années 1880, Muybridge est entré dans une période très productive à l’Université de Pennsylvanie à Philadelphie, produisant plus de 100 000 images d’animaux et d’humains en mouvement, capturant ce que l’œil humain ne pouvait pas distinguer comme des mouvements séparés. Il a passé une grande partie de ses dernières années à donner des conférences publiques et des démonstrations de ses photographies et de ses premières séquences cinématographiques, retournant en Angleterre et en Europe pour faire connaître son travail. Il a également édité et publié des compilations de son travail, qui ont grandement influencé les artistes visuels et les domaines en développement de la photographie scientifique et industrielle. Dans "The human figure in motion", les séquences montrent des études de mouvement du corps masculin ou féminin dans diverses situations : dans le cas des hommes, il s’agit principalement de phases de mouvement pendant l’exercice du sport (sprint, course, saut en longueur, saut en hauteur, lancer, lancer du poids, baseball, cricket, aviron, lutte, escrime, boxe), dans des situations quotidiennes (marcher, porter des poids, monter une ascension, monter des escaliers, etc.) ou lors d’un travail physique (marcher avec un fusil, forger, creuser). Dans le cas des études sur le mouvement féminin, il existe une approche plus esthétique, qui est évidemment due à la compréhension morale de l’époque victorienne : seule une partie des modèles féminins a été photographiée nue.

Abstract

In 1990 the Canadian Centre for Architecture acquired a copy of Eadweard Muybridge's rare mammoth-plate "Panorama of San Francisco from California Street Hill." Made in 1878 from the top of the Mark Hopkins mansion, this 360-degree photograph of the city, over five metres in length, was not only a remarkable technical achievement but a high point in the history of city view-making. David Harris, curator of the exhibition which this publication accompanies, examines in his essay the photographer's role in creating and imposing an aesthetic order upon the apparent haphazardness of the city, concentrating upon the technical and conceptual issues involved in making panoramas as well as the social and promotional uses which they served. Eadweard Muybridge and the Photographic Panorama of San Francisco, 1850-1880 is the first work to study Muybridge's panorama in depth, providing a context in which to situate and appreciate his achievement. By examining the panoramas of San Francisco made from Nob Hill by Muybridge as well as George Fardon, Charles L. Weed, and Carleton Watkins, this publication brings to light the complex aims and unique qualities of these objects, revealing as well the vital nature of the city that was their subject. Great care has been taken in the reproduction of all the panoramas, so as to preserve as much as possible the intent behind them, often lost when reproduced piecemeal or on separate pages. Until now, very few have ever been adequately reproduced, owing to the complexities of presenting in book form panoramas of such detail and length. In another essay Eric Sandweiss examines the rhetoric of "destiny" in the remarkable history of San Francisco, one of the world's most rapidly formed great cities. Was San Francisco truly "inevitable"? Sandweiss explores the question by examining cultural settlement patterns and the influence of topography, money, and status. A fully illustrated catalogue provides complete documentation of all the objects treated. This is the first work to attempt this systematically, and to make possible a comparison of all the major creations in this thirty-year history of San Francisco's photographic panoramas, a period of the rise of a city and photography alike.

Abstract

Le photographe anglais Eadweard Muybridge fut un véritable pionnier de l’observation visuelle des mouvements humains et animaux. En 1872, il aida notoirement l’ancien gouverneur de Californie, Leland Stanford, à mettre fin à une polémique en photographiant un cheval au galop. Muybridge avait inventé un système complexe d’obturateurs simultanés permettant d’obtenir des arrêts sur image, et de prouver par-là pour la première fois de manière irréfutable qu’un cheval au galop décolle ses quatre sabots du sol pendant une fraction de seconde. Pendant les trente années suivantes, Muybridge poursuivit sa quête pour cataloguer intégralement de nombreux aspects du mouvement humain et animal, prenant des centaines de clichés de chevaux et d’autres animaux – et de sujets nus ou légèrement vêtus accomplissant diverses activités comme courir, marcher, pratiquer la boxe, l’escrime, ou encore descendre un escalier (c’est cette dernière étude qui inspira le célèbre tableau de 1912 de Marcel Duchamp). Ce magnifique ouvrage retrace la vie et l’oeuvre de Muybridge, de ses premières réflexions sur l’anatomie et le mouvement à ses dernières expériences photographiques. La totalité des 781 planches de son ouvrage révolutionnaire Animal Locomotion (1887) y sont reproduites. De plus, The Attitudes of Animals in Motion (1881), son premier album illustré, aujourd’hui rarissime, est reproduit ici intégralement. Une chronologie détaillée établie par le chercheur britannique Stephen Herbert jette un nouvel éclairage sur l’un des plus importants pionniers de la photographie.

Abstract

"Addresses the relationship between cinema and photography during the 20th century. It comes out of a dialogue between historians from both fields, equally represented in the table of contents. It opens the field of study beyond the domains of art and cinephilia to take into account the social uses of images, of popular media, and of a diversity of discursive fields, from medicine to pedagogy. It aims to move beyond general aesthetic considerations to deal with specific historical objects, including discourses"--Back cover.

Abstract

Taxidermy, once the province of natural history and dedicated to the pursuit of lifelike realism, has recently resurfaced in the world of contemporary art, culture, and interior design. In Speculative Taxidermy, Giovanni Aloi offers a comprehensive mapping of the discourses and practices that have enabled the emergence of taxidermy in contemporary art. Drawing on the speculative turn in philosophy and recovering past alternative histories of art and materiality from a biopolitical perspective, Aloi theorizes speculative taxidermy: a powerful interface that unlocks new ethical and political opportunities in human-animal relationships and speaks to how animal representation conveys the urgency of addressing climate change, capitalist exploitation, and mass extinction.A resolutely nonanthropocentric take on the materiality of one of the most controversial mediums in art, this approach relentlessly questions past and present ideas of human separation from the animal kingdom. It situates taxidermy as a powerful interface between humans and animals, rooted in a shared ontological and physical vulnerability. Carefully considering a select number of key examples including the work of Nandipha Mntambo, Maria Papadimitriou, Mark Dion, Berlinde De Bruyckere, Roni Horn, Oleg Kulik, Steve Bishop, Snæbjörnsdóttir/Wilson, and Cole Swanson, Speculative Taxidermy contextualizes the resilient presence of animal skin in the gallery space as a productive opportunity to rethink ethical and political stances in human-animal relationships.

Abstract

Key writings by artists and theorists chart the shifting relationship between film and photography and how the rise of cinema forced photography to make a virtue of its stillness. The cinematic has been a springboard for the work of many influential artists, including Victor Burgin, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Stan Douglas, Nan Goldin, Douglas Gordon, Cindy Sherman, and Jeff Wall, among others. Much recent cinema, meanwhile, is rich with references to contemporary photography. Video art has taken a photographic turn into pensive slowness; photography now has at its disposal the budgets and scale of cinema. This addition to Whitechapel's Documents of Contemporary Art series surveys the rich history of creative interaction between the moving and the still photograph, tracing their ever-changing relationship since early modernism. Still photography cinema's ghostly parent was eclipsed by the medium of film, but also set free. The rise of cinema obliged photography to make a virtue of its own stillness. Film, on the other hand, envied the simplicity, the lightness, and the precision of photography. Russian Constructivist filmmakers considered avant-garde cinema as a sequence of graphic "shots"; their Bauhaus, Constructivist and Futurist photographer contemporaries assembled photographs into a form of cinema on the page. In response to the rise of popular cinema, Henri Cartier-Bresson exalted the "decisive moment" of the still photograph. In the 1950s, reportage photography began to explore the possibility of snatching filmic fragments. Since the 1960s, conceptual and postconceptual artists have explored the narrative enigmas of the found film still. The Cinematic assembles key writings by artists and theorists from the 1920s on including László Moholy-Nagy, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Victor Burgin, Jeff Wall, and Catherine David documenting the photography-film dialogue that has enriched both media.
