Postcards from the exhibition I knew very little about Edweard Muybridge before this exhibition and found his photographs, particularly the early ones of the Californian landscape (pictured above)very beautiful. The mystic, almost abstract effect of the reflections of the landscape in water seemed very modern.
Moving onto the second half of the show I found the 'Motion' photographs very beautiful.
Although they were for scientific purposes I found their pattern of repitition, the monochrome and their simplicity, artistically stunning.
There were some slides on show towards the end of the famous motion horse. They were placed in a wheel with squares cut out. This inspired me to think about presenting sections of my work as transparent. I.e. creating my own slides of interiors, or printing onto acetate.
