David Michalek: Figure Studies
2 August – 27 September 2012
In a newly commissioned work, David Michalek honours the cinematic and photographic pioneer Eadweard Muybridge who broke new ground by recording movement too fast for the human eye to register. In recreating many of Muybridge’s original experiments using the latest technical facilities, Michalek creates both an homage to and an extension of Muybridge's original artistic intent.
Michalek's hugely popular film Slow Dancing is also on show. In this three-screen film, a variety of dance forms are shown in incredibly detailed high resolution and slowed down so greatly that the viewer can feel every nuance of movement and style. Exhibition in the Library Upper Gallery.
