Overview

Time/Motion brings together the work of three photographers—Eadweard Muybridge, Harold Edgerton and Jonathan Shaw—whose work demonstrates the extraordinary potential of the photographic image to explore and capture movement and the passage of time. Spanning 130 years from 1872 to the present day, all three developed technological solutions to explore concepts of time and movement, using specialized cameras and photographic processes.
