EJM 1: Man Walking at Ordinary Speed EJM 2: Inertia

Diller Scofidio + RenfroLyon, France1998Сценография

EJM, a two-part multimedia dance work, is inspired by the motion-photography experiments of two photographer-scientists who shared the same initials, were born in the same year, and died in the same year: Eadweard James Muybridge and Étienne-Jules Marey (both 1830–1904). While photography was once thought to be an instrument of truth—from its infancy in the early nineteenth century until well into the twentieth century—the age of digitization cast doubt on its veracity. EJM I: Man Walking at Ordinary Speed and EJM II: Inertia use digital media in the service of both truth and deception, working with live stage action and several forms of mediation.
