Zoetrope – Time in a loop // Open Workshop for all age groups

About this Event

The zoetrope, also known as a magic lantern, which uses simple optical means to create the illusion of movement, was a popular toy in the 19th century. A sequence of individual images rotates in a drum and, when viewed through narrow slits, merges into a flowing sequence of movements. However, the movement does not progress, but repeats itself endlessly. Time stands still in the zoetrope.
