anton Bragaglia

Anton Giulio Bragaglia (1890 – 1960)

Between 1912 - 1916 Bragaglia, a photographer associated with the Italian Futurist Art Movement, took a number of photos using slow shutter speeds to depict continuous rather than sequential motion. He coined the term 'Photodynamism' to label these kinds of photographs. "Anton Bragaglia's photography makes visible that which the eye itself cannot perceive. This ambition was achieved by means of capturing in a single image the flowing trajectories of objects in motion, made visible by long exposure times." Dr.Hugo Heyrman, media professor.
