Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Muybridge's 1878 'Horse in Motion' settled a bet about galloping horses—Michalek's project similarly interrogates what cameras reveal that eyes cannot.
The cast includes performance artists and dancers rather than actors, chosen for their physical control and willingness to be objectified as moving sculpture.
