Plate Number 65. Running at full speed 1887

Eadweard Muybridge's "Plate Number 65. Running at full speed" (1887) is a photographic sequence depicting a man running, capturing the human body in motion. This work, part of Muybridge's groundbreaking studies of animal locomotion, revolutionized our understanding of movement and paved the way for motion pictures. The series of 12 images, each capturing a fraction of a second, reveals the intricate phases of a running stride, offering a glimpse into the mechanics of human movement. Muybridge's pioneering work in the field of chronophotography, using a series of cameras to capture rapid motion, had a profound impact on art, science, and technology.
