Serie van foto's waarop een man een kegel van het hoofd van iemand anders optilt, bedoelt voor een cinematograaf before 1908

This page from an anonymous book contains a series of photographs depicting a man lifting a cone from another man's head. It’s meant for a cinematograph, you know, like an early movie projector! I like to imagine the photographer, whoever they were, setting up the shot, thinking about motion and how to capture it. What were they trying to say about movement, illusion, and the ways we perceive the world? The repetition of the images, one after another, kinda reminds me of the frames of a film reel—each tiny shift and adjustment creating the illusion of movement. It's a quiet study of physical interaction, but also a nod to the technical processes behind early cinema. The photographer would’ve been playing with capturing time, frame by frame, just like painters play with colour and form. They're all linked, these artists, experimenting and pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, each inspiring the next!
