Photographer Eadweard Muybridge was above all an innovator who played a groundbreaking role in the creative transformation of late nineteenth-century American and European culture. He pushed the limits of existing technology between 1850 and the dawn of the twentieth century, a time of rapid social and political change. Inspired by a complex set of goals that were artistic, scientific, commercial, and above all personal in nature, Muybridge reinterpreted the grand landscape traditions of photography, surveyed the construction of Western railroads, depicted the growth of the Pacific Coast of the United States, and documented the Modoc War and Central American agriculture. He then developed the ability to freeze photographic sequences describing human and animal locomotion, and reanimated these in some of the first projected motion pictures. Muybridge helped alter and expand our understanding of the world, yet the full complexity of his art is little known today. Born in England in 1830, Eadweard Muybridge immigrated to the United States in the early 1850s and began his career as a photographer in San Francisco in 1867. He radically reinvented the aesthetic and technical capabilities of the camera and in doing so gave us a new way to conceive of motion, time, and space. Today, the impact of Muybridge's art can be found in many places, from Thomas Edison's kinetoscope viewer and Marcel Duchamp's Nude Descending a Staircase to the poignant paintings of Francis Bacon, the blockbuster film The Matrix, and U2's video for their hit song "Lemon." It is interesting now to imagine Muybridge's world, little more than a century ago, when our sense of time was turned upside down for good. Helios: Eadweard Muybridge in a Time of Change constructs a new understanding of Muybridge's innovations and demonstrates his influence as a pioneer of modern art.

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.
