Eadweard Muybridge is among the seminal originators of the
contemporary world's visual form. Projectionists examines mostly
unknown aspects of Muybridge's work: his period as a touring
projectionist who enthralled audiences with unprecedented
moving-images and his creation of a moving-image auditorium-long
before cinemas-in which to project his work at the 1893 World's
Columbian Exposition. That auditorium was both a catastrophe and a
vital precursor for the following century's manias for projection.
Based on new research into his travels, audiences, auditoria, and
projectors, Projectionists explores Muybridge's initiating role in
moving-image projection and also maps his driving inspiration for
subsequent filmmakers preoccupied with the volatile entity of
projection, from 1890s Berlin to contemporary Japan, via further
World's Exposition events and cinemas' overheated projection-boxes.
