Zoetrope "Flowery Promenade": Instrument of pre-cinema and artistic study

Observe the mechanism of this Zoetrope, a pre-cinema instrument dedicated to the study of moving images and optical illusions. This "Promenade Fleurie" edition revisits this iconic object, drawing inspiration from French Fauvism and blending technical research with artistic expression.

Artistic and technical process: The exterior design directly pays homage to the cut-out technique. The chromatic vibration and relief of the object result from a meticulous process: 90 pieces are painted and individually placed on the surface.

Included Contents (10 Strips)
  • 3 Strips from the first cartoons: Restored sequences that trace the origins of early animation. They are presented in color and detail for an illusion of fluid movement.
  • 3 Strips to restore the first zoetropes: Dive into the origins with these faithful and stylized replicas of the first 19th-century strips, essential for understanding the evolution of the technique.
  • 4 Blank Strips to Create: Express your creativity! These strips are completely blank and drawn, ready to accommodate your own animated sequences.
Features
  • Dimensions: Height: 35 cm; Cylinder diameter: 25 cm
  • Product weight: 945 g; Packaged weight: 1345 g
  • Manufacturing material: High-density biodegradable polymer structure. The 90 decorative elements are painted and assembled manually using the cut-out technique.

As each piece is handcrafted, slight variations in color and finish may exist compared to the photographs on the website.

Additional information
  • Assembly: Intuitive assembly in 3 interlocking parts.
How does it work?

Rotate the cylinder smoothly: the animation immediately becomes visible to the naked eye.

  • The illusion of movement: This is the stroboscopic effect. Your brain merges the succession of still images to create continuous movement.
  • Lighting: It works in normal light, but a light source placed above it will enhance sharpness.
  • 100% Optical: No assistance (camera or application) is needed to appreciate the effect.
