THE MAN WHO STOPPED TIME
An interactive exhibition for children and adults about Muybridge’s legendary series of photographs of a running horse.
In a playful way, it explains the principles of animation machines before the arrival of film.
DOES A GALLOPING HORSE EVER REACH A MOMENT WHEN NONE OF ITS HOOVES TOUCH THE GROUND?
This exhibition tells the story of how people searched for the answer to this question 150 years ago. At the same time, it aims to show — and perhaps even evoke — the fascination people had back then with movement, vision, and the exploration of both.
A fascination that quite literally became the driving force for many researchers, inventors, and dreamers.
Target Audience
Children of preschool and school age, though the exhibition will also appeal to their parents.
The exhibition design delights both adults and children, making it great fun for the whole family!
Exhibition Space
We can adapt the exhibition to almost any space.
The recommended ideal space is approximately 100–200 m².
Animation Workshops
As part of the exhibition, we also offer animation workshops.
During the workshop, participants create short animations at stop-motion stations or using animation machines. This workshop is ideal for school classes, art school groups, or other organised groups.
The ideal workshop length is 90 minutes. Under the guidance of experienced instructors, participants try out different animation techniques and get to know animation machines.
Participants always receive their film by email.
