A popular phrase warns us that "movement is demonstrated by walking", which is not entirely true, because there are many variations of the idea of movement . In this number 89 of EXIT we review some names, some classic, some new, trying to show examples of how photography strives to emerge from immobility without moving, without ceasing to be a photograph. People, landscapes, the sky, the sea, nature, the city... Photography and photographers strive to subtly show the latent movement of life, of the world.
EXIT 89 Movement brings together the work of up to fifteen photographers who, from different perspectives, are representative of the theme . The central text, signed by the curator Carlos Gollonet, proposes a brief, but very well documented, history of the relationship between photography and movement. This writing exercise is illustrated through the work of highly prestigious photographers, including Etienne-Jules Marey, Duane Michals, Nicholas Nixon and Eadweard J. Muybridge, among others. In the dossiers section, we present the work of eight photographers. Greg Anthon, Sanna Kannisto and Yuki Onodera use the same motif —birds— to investigate the link between photography and movement; all of them, despite sharing the theme, have completely different approaches, looks. Hans-Christian Schink's photographs, taken using long exposure, try to capture the apparent movement of the Sun, which is nothing more than the Earth's own rotation. Corinne Vionnet and Michael Wesely attend to the movement of the crowd, also through different techniques and conceptual approaches. Ricardo Sánchez, for his part, inserts himself into the bullfighting tradition to explore the movement of the animal and man in this practice. Finally, Jonathan Shaw, who, up to now, has dedicated a good part of his career to exploring the possibilities of movement in photography, presents part of his work focused on basketball and ballet.
In Portfolio, the section in which we give space to the most interesting photographers of the new generations, we present Miia Autio, Mark Duffy, Maria Jou Sol, Douglas Mandry and Simone Sapienza.
