SENIOR FELLOW
Marta Braun
Senior Fellow von Oktober bis Dezember 2008
Marta Braun arbeitet zu den Chronofotografen E.J. Marey und Eadweard Muybridge. 1994 war ihr Buch Picturing Time: The Work of Etienne Jules Marey für den britischen Kraszna-Krausz-Award nominiert, ein Preis, der alle zwei Jahre für die besten international publizierten Bücher über Fotografie verliehen wird. Gemeinsam mit vier anderen Autoren gewann sie diesen Preis 1999 für die Essay-Sammlung Beauty of Another Order: Photography in Science. Prof. Braun ist seit 1996 Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques, wozu sie in Anerkennung ihrer Leistungen von der französischen Regierung gemacht wurde.
“Muybridge / Technology”
Braun’s project during her stay is to prepare an exhibition on Muybridge’s “Animal Locomotion” that will open in spring 2010 in Toronto and afterwards travel to Chicago and Paris. The research project includes a critical analysis of Muybridge’s sequential photographs, in particular the arrangement of the single images within them and the arrangement in the publication Animal Locomotion. Braun has reconstructed the order in which the photographs were actually made and as a result has been able to differentiate the interests of Muybridge from the interests of the committee that oversaw the project.
