Multiple frames of a robot walk cycle - selected at once. LC 2008
The title of this entry is of course a play on Marcel Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase" pictured here. Today it's easy to select a few frames of a Flash animation and show them superimposed, or click the Trail effect button on your Fairlight, but Marcel hadn't got his computer yet when he did this painting in 1912. He'd probably seen a film or two, and some of Eadweard Muybridge's photos but I still love this painting depicting movement over time in a single image.
