Miller shows us more than just photographs and paintings in this show. This is one of the reasons why it is so appealing. He keeps on nudging us, encouraging us to think more widely, to think about how what Muybridge and others did had an impact on art, photography, books, film, the theatre. Didn’t Busby Berkeley’s gorgeous choreography, all that brilliant sequencing of movement, owe a debt to what Muybridge discovered? And didn’t Berkeley’s choreography also remind us of the way in which Cubism broke up the human figure? Yes, and yes again. Undoubtedly.

What a great opening night, I was introduced to the man himself Dr. Jonathan Miller and all the team at the Estorick. It was an unbelievable turnout (you could barely see the show!) with a really illuminating introduction by Jonathan.

It was truly amazing to see my work set amongst those who have influenced and expanded on our understanding and perceptions of photography, time and motion.

You can also listen to his interview with Mark Lawson on Radio 4’s Front Row from 8th January (the interview starts about 1/3 of the way through the podcast).

If you are in North London tomorrow night then please come along to the Preview of Jonathan Miller’s ‘On the Move, Visualising Action’ exhibition at the Estorick Collection. This features some of my earlier sports work. Tuesday 12th January 2010, 6 until 8.30pm.
