“Webber collapses the alleged objectivity of Muybridge's project more effectively and pleasurably than a hundred cultural theorists just talking about it [...] Above all it is the women in these pictures who are allowed to shine gloriously.”
“It is the art of suggestion, that anything is possible, which is so powerful in her work.”
“Is it an exaggeration to suggest that this work sits at the cusp of photography and what was then called new technology?”
“In the case of Denise Webber's work something more quietly assured and humble is going on.”
“There is something primal and timeless in these extraordinary images.”
“Conceptual photography doesn't often deliver winning images like these.”
“All of these images are full of fractured gestures and unsettling juxtapositions as this curious parade [...] presents itself for our inspection.”
“It was eerie: over and over again [...] it evoked a heightened feeling of temporal suspension that pervaded the whole space.”
“Whereas Muybridge's 'human guinea-pigs' can often be seen as grotesque or freakish, Webber repositions them to become boldy celebratory.”
