Time|motion by Harold Edgerton

Bringing together the work of three photographers, Time: Motion demonstrates the extraordinary potential of the photographic image to explore and capture movement and the passage of time. In 1872, Muybridge developed a method to create sequences of instantaneous snapshots, recording the passage of time and movement with his revolutionary work Animal Locomotion. In 1931, Edgerton combined the camera and the stroboscope to capture movements too fast to be seen by the naked eye, such as a speeding bullet. Shaw's work captures movement as something liquid and strange, but accurate.

Peter James attended University College, London, and Magdalen College, Oxford. He has a doctorate in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics and first degrees in Theoretical Physics and Econometrics and Statistics. He was previously Head of International Investment Banking at NationsBank (now Bank of America). He has many years expertise in the derivatives markets at Merrill Lynch, DKB Financial Products, and Credit Agricole Lazard Financial Products, where he is currently Head of Regulatory Compliance.
