FILM

Anne Rees-Mogg’s takes on Muybridge’s studies of motion are stopped, sped-up, re-shuffled, slowed-down, and re-ordered — transforming a scientific endeavour into a personal portrait of friend and fellow filmmaker, Renny Croft. Mogg’s editing and transparent manipulation of the image does not act as a document intended to demonstrate or prove motion. Instead it playfully exposes the deceptive nature of a medium that is constructed by both stillness and fragmentation. Muybridge Film is one of 11 films made by Rees-Mogg prior to her death in 1984.
