Tamás Waliczky exhibited his series „Imaginary Cameras,” comprised of 23 fantasy cameras and optical instruments, operating on analogue principles but made with digital software, in the Hungarian Pavilion at the 58th International Exhibition of Art – La Biennale di Venezia. This artwork is also created as part of his series. The Muybridge Camera was named after Eadweard Muybridge (1830-1904), the English pioneer of cinematography who was the first to capture movement on motion sequence photographs in the 1870s. He set up 24 cameras in a row, and a horse riding at full speed in front of them tripped the wires connected to the shutters, triggering them one after another; thus, each camera captured the exact moment and enabled him to record the phases of the horse’s motion. Waliczky’s twelve-lens camera makes creating sequence photography concentrated in a single device possible. Although these meticulously designed objects seem real at first sight, in fact, they are computer-generated graphics. If constructed, they could be functional objects. Waliczky’s precise, black-and-white digital graphics not only provide the audience with an aesthetic experience but also make them think of forgotten alternatives of technical development that may be revived by artistic thinking. His series is a tribute to the heroic age of photography and cinematography, and the roots of new media art. Géza Boros
