The article explores Eadweard Muybridge's life and contributions to photography, particularly his groundbreaking work that documented horses in motion. His sequential photographs challenged previously held beliefs, eventually leading to the acceptance of motion pictures as a form of art. The piece discusses Guy Delisle's new comic book depicting Muybridge's adventures and his role in the evolution of photography, particularly how his innovations, including the zoopraxiscope, helped lay the groundwork for modern cinema. Delisle reveals his personal connection to Muybridge's work and the lasting impact it has on animation.
