The first set of images for a sequence depicts movement over a period of time, using sequence in a similar way to Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904) in his work studying humans and animals in motion (Animals in Motion). My research for this exercise is included in my learning log post Research Point – Sequence. I used a sequence of images of two BMX riders from Mobile Bike Events (2017) performing in the Fun Zone at the recent UCI Road World Championships held in Harrogate. The sequence shows one rider jumping over a second stationary rider.
One alternative presentation suggestion was to display these as a slide show, however, I have chosen to create a composite action sequence in Photoshop (To be the subject of another learning log post) as this shows the the sequence of the two riders more clearly.
When researching this exercise, I found the work and processes used by John Hilliard (b.1945) thought provoking. In particular exercises such as such as Photographing Out (1971) (Hilliard) , where the subject reduces in size. I used this technique when making creating an in camera multiple exposure changing the focal length of the lens. The subject is an installation by Aether and Hemera called Voyage featuring lit paper origami boats.
