Deutsch: Phenakistiskop: Walzer tanzendes Paar

Urheber: Eadweard Muybridge, 1830-1904
Titel: Das Zoopraxiskop* - ein Walzer tanzendes Paar
Farblithographie, geschaffen/veröffentlicht 1893, Copyright Eadweard Muybridge (abgelaufen).
* Anmerkung: Die Bilder zeigen kein Zoopraxiskop, sondern einen Vorläufer, das Phenakistiskop.

Beschreibung: 13 Einzelbilder sind auf einer Scheibe angeordnet (linkes Bild). Zwischen den Bildern sind radial kleine Sehschlitze angeordnet. Wird die Scheibe vor einem Spiegel senkrecht gehalten und gedreht und blickt man von hinten durch die Sehschlitze auf das Spiegelbild der Scheibe, so wird die Illusion einer Bewegung des tanzenden Paares erzeugt. (Das dritte Bild simuliert den Blick durch den Sehschlitz.) Für die Animation wurden die Einzelbilder entsprechend gedreht. Jedes Bild ist 15/100 Sekunden sichtbar, ein Umlauf dauert 1,95 Sekunden.
Français : Couple dansant la valse. Simulation de l'effet recherché par l'auteur original (Eadweard Muybridge) à partir des gravures d'un Phénakistiscope.
