📷 Body & Motion. Mapping Movement from Early Photography to Video Art
These phantom horses were soon followed by phantom humans, who ran and turned somersaults to even greater admiration. [...] the same principles of mechanical repetition that made possible industrial reproduction had now made movement more visible. Movement itself had become a “visible mechanics.”
Building from what film theorist Linda Williams coined the “frenzy of the visible,” this talk rehearses scenes of the “phantom horses” and “phantom humans” from a story of body motion capture leading from early photographic experiments by Edward Muybridge, Alexei Gastev and others, to the era of video art with works by Joan Jonas, Steina and Woody Vasulka, and Nam June Paik. Looking at the long arc of these imaging technologies, it considers medial concerns with mapping movement that link the photograph and video screen.
📷 Megan Hoetger is a performance and media historian, researcher, and curator based in the Netherlands. She holds a PhD in Performance Studies from the University of California,
Berkeley and from 2019-2024 was a program curator with the Amsterdam-based arts organization If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution. Hoetger’s writings have appeared in a number of publications, including in the 2021 anthology In and Out of View: Art and the Dynamics of Circulation, Suppression, and Censorship and the forthcoming Routledge Companion to Performance Art. Across her practice, Hoetger investigates the politics of distribution for underground time-based art and film screening events in the context of (post-)Cold War internationalisms.
