“In slapstick and cartoons, there is a world where things live their own lives, beyond the control of their makers. The repression of the industrial world erupts, and we enter into the dream life of objects. There we find the revolutionary potential hidden between the efficient body of the worker and the disordered body of the mentally disturbed.”—Zoe Beloff, from “Bodies Against Time,” in Issue 15 of Triple Canopy. Beloff explores motion studies, industrial capitalism, mental illness, and Mutt and Jeff. Above: Etienne-Jules Marey, stereoscopic trajectory of a man walking away from camera, 1890.
