Eadweard Muybridge   Nudes Descending Staircases

“Since the time of Leonardo DaVinci and his endeavor to capture the impression of a single isolated position, artists and scientists have struggled to grasp the natural time-space phenomena of movement. With the help of technology, Muybridge choreographed this conjunction of science and art and developed a fast-walking stride towards our modern-day world of moving-pictures.” -- Corinne Parker | image source
