"MIT scientist Harold Edgerton (1903-1990) created and patented a series of high-speed electric flash mechanisms that enabled his cameras to capture the tiniest slices of time, and produced a substantial body of work almost as a by-product. This collection of his images reveal Edgerton as a man obsessed with the paradoxes and wonders of motion." 95 photographs were chosen for the show.

Rustica (tapa blanda). Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: Nuevo. El presente ensayo pretende dar una amplia panorámica del uso heterogéneo y dispar que los creadores contemporáneos han venido haciendo con la fotografía en las últimas cuatro décadas. Resulta complejo, por no decir fútil, delimitar la frontera entre fotografía de creación y cualquier otro tipo de práctica fotográfica, pues buena parte de estos artistas han promovido la amateurización y el mestizaje del medio fotográfico como recurso estético, contraviniendo así las tesis clásicas que defendían el virtuosismo o el profundo conocimiento técnico como condición sine qua non para legitimar cualquier discurso genuino de autor.

Paperback. Condition: New. An array of hydralike tentacles surround a ragged white ring (the immediate aftermath of a drop of milk falling onto a table); a sensuous red shape being stretched out at one end by a dense black spot (a bullet, in fact, being shot through a candle flame). MIT scientist Harold Edgerton (1903-1990) devoted much of his career to revealing images like these--moments exponentially too brief for the human eye to ever glimpse in real time, which today are a familiar part of our visual lexicon. As an inventor and electrical engineer, "Doc" Edgerton created and patented a series of high-speed electric flash mechanisms that enabled his cameras to capture the tiniest slices of time, and produced a substantial body of work almost as a byproduct of his experiments and researches. In this respect, Edgerton's photographs can be seen as the surprising results of his adventures in mechanics, and as worthy successors to the earlier efforts of Eadweard Muybridge to divide up time and transcend the limits of the human eye. The literally arresting images collected in this survey of his career occupy a fascinating midground status between art and scientific artifact, and reveal Edgerton as a man magnificently obsessed with the paradoxes and wonders of motion.…
