Holography

Reference

Small cross-like areas of the photographic emulsion have been scratched away to define the corners of two luminous rectangles and the suggestion of a third.


Light used to illuminate the hologram passes through these holes and reflects from the blue surface behind.


The overlap of more traditionally made graphic marks and the luminous holographic surfaces attempts to question our interpretation of the picture plane and the non-physical surfaces displayed within the holographic volume.


This piece was originally acquired by the Matthias Lauk Collection, Germany. 
In 2024, parts of the Lauk Collection were acquired by the Würth Collection, Germany.


The Würth Collection encompasses art from the late Middle Ages up to the 21st century – predominantly paintings and sculpture, but now also holography. It is one of Europe’s greatest private collections and shows its presence not only in the five Würth Museums but also in state museums and public spaces around the world.
