At one point in
Eadweard Muybridge’s life, Muybridge was involved in a pretty bad stage coach
accident. His head sustained a lot of injuries which caused problems with his
seeing, thinking, and personality. Neurologists today, upon looking at
Muybridge’s medical records, believe these changes were due to damage to his
frontal cortex. I’m really interested in the brain and what it can do, so this
fact got me thinking of doing a piece about the brain, like a zoetrope of an
MRI of a brain. Muybridge also did panoramic pieces, which I believe would give
an interesting aspect to this project. Regarding to the bet of whether or not a
horse had all four hooves off the ground when it galloped, I think it’s
fascinating that Muybridge tried to shed light on a question that our eyes
alone could not answer. So maybe a project that tried to answer a question only
a camera can solve would be a good idea.
