Arms Up Multiple

by Amy Heller

“I love motion and the late 19th century human locomotion photographic experiments of Étienne-Jules Marey, Eadweard Muybridge, and others that inspired me to start experimenting with the moving film stroboscopy technique of shooting motion on film. The first time I shot the photos with black and white film and now I am collaging and layering those earlier analog images in the digital world, creating new works of art. Through my photographs I examine the idea of motion and reality and seeing the unseen: what exists and yet cannot be perceived by the naked eye.”
