Father of 3D photography stars at Tate Britain
Jump to it: multiple images of leap-frogging men, an early study of movement by Eadweard Muybridge
Mark Blunden @_MarkBlunden12 April 2012
Work by a London photographer who experimented with 3D more than 100 years ago is going on display at an exhibition at Tate Britain.
Eadweard Muybridge, from Kingston, is most famous for proving that all four of a horse's hooves leave the ground when it gallops in a sequence of photographs in 1877.
But he was also an early user of 3D technology, bringing postcard-sized "stereoscopic" images to life using goggles. Muybridge's works also include multiple images to capture the movement involved by two men leap-frogging.
They are among 150 works on display from Wednesday until 16 January. Admission £10, £9 concessions.
