THE BODY IN MOTION An exhibition commissioned by the city of Douai as part of commemorations related to the centenary of the death of Georges DemenĂż.
THE BODY IN MOTION Georges Demenÿ (1850-1917), born in Douai, worked in the shadow of the physiologist Etienne-Jules Marey who developed the first cinematographic cameras, well before the Lumière brothers. Demenÿ, passionate about movement photography and physical education, then becomes a specialist in both subjects and wants to popularize the spectacle of «animated images».
THE BODY IN MOTION After much research, he developed in 1892 - the phonoscope - projector able to broadcast his films but also those of Marey. Angered by the growing importance of his trainer, Marey hunts Georges DemenĂż from his laboratory. For more click on the link: Randevu
