Pour une fraction de seconde, La vie mouvementée d’Eadweard Muybridge
Guy Delisle
— Michel Hardy-Vallée
At once a biography of Eadweard Muybridge and a condensed history of photography, Pour une fraction de seconde also traces the steps that would eventually lead to cinema. In his review of this graphic novel, Michel Hardy-Vallée highlights both the simplicity of Guy Delisle’s narrative, praising him as a storyteller and pedagogue, and the interplay between photography and drawing. He notes the presence of a flipbook and points out that the work is filled with subtle references for those attentive enough to catch them.
