Information
Vintage gelatin silver print on polycoated paper
cm 12,8 x 17,8 | 5 x 7 in.
Titled with photographer's notes in black ink on the verso
The print titled "L’ASSASSINO NUDO" refers to the eponymous film by Paolo Gioli, who, with this work, aimed to highlight—through the provocative title that alludes to Muybridge having killed his wife’s lover—the close relationship between photography and cinema, even before the latter was invented. Gioli himself writes, presenting his work: “In the film, I wasn’t so concerned with studying movement (that seemed obvious to me) but with my own kinetic-existential curiosity […] In editing the film, I discovered something I could never have found by simply leafing through the three books: an unconscious anticipation of film editing by Muybridge. His camera angles even come across as perfectly timed TV cuts of remarkable modernity—direct edits before cinema existed.”
