Book Chapter
Moving Body, Moving Pictures: The Emergence of Cinematic Pedestrianism
2022
Overview
This chapter analyses the philosophy of movement that informed the scientific studies of human locomotion in the nineteenth century, before the rise of the Lumière cinématographe. It contextualizes the use of the photographic method and wearable media to extend the scientific understanding of walking. Through a comparative analysis of Eadweard Muybridge's and Étienne-Jules Marey's studies, it explores the visual aesthetics that resulted from the ever-growing obsession with capturing movement in its continuous flow. The oeuvre of these two influential names in the history of moving images is thus crucial to an examination of the nascent visual aesthetics of temporality and spatiality in the representation of human stride, which eventually contributed to the visual vocabulary of cinematic pedestrianism.
