We're All Looking
Capturing project Melbourne, 2007, Exhibited at Bus Gallery,Melbourne March 2008.
This series of holograms explores the multi-perspectival scene. The holographic images are structured by the relationships between the viewer, their view and being veiwed. The event ‘we’re all looking’ involved 26 people who captured images in choreographed formations around Melbourne. The formations relate to the symmetries of the space and architecture. By aligning the images with respect to the participants, the figures blend together becoming a visual anchor to the holographic space. The holographic image-space is formed by a structure of superimposed perspectives.
The hologram Exhibition Circle (video link) has both horizontal and vertical parallax, produced by reconfiguring the printing system at Kunsthochschule für Medien, Cologne. The holographic image is viewed while bending and stretching which mirrors the movement of the figures.
The other holograms installed in 'Beyond the Window' at Bus Gallery are viewed by sitting on modified office-chairs and rolling through each of the photographers’ perspectives.
