EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable photographic gun designed by Etienne Jules Marey in 1882. Marey, a pioneering French physiologist, revolutionized the field of movement analysis through his innovative use of photography. His groundbreaking work eventually led to the invention of cinematography. In this image, we see a man holding Marey's photographic gun with great intrigue and curiosity. The gun itself is a testament to Marey's ingenuity and forward-thinking mindset. It represents an important milestone in the history of technology and scientific exploration. Marey's invention allowed for the capture of sequential images at high speeds, enabling him to study various forms of movement in unprecedented detail. This breakthrough laid the foundation for modern-day film-making techniques and forever changed our understanding of motion. The monochrome aesthetic adds a sense of nostalgia to this photograph, transporting us back to the 19th century when Marey was pushing boundaries and challenging conventional wisdom. It serves as a reminder that even amidst technological advancements today, it is crucial to acknowledge those who paved the way for such progress. This print from "Things" published in London in 1956, pays homage to Etienne Jules Marey's contributions as both a scientist and an inventor. It captures not only his genius but also his lasting impact on fields like photography, cinematography, and beyond.
