The work highlights the unseen \u2018support\u2019 usually placed at the back of a photographic frame and used to keep the frame upright.\u2028<\/p>\n

Here, this support is recorded holographically onto the glass plate it should be supporting. What results is a visual and theoretical \u2018support\u2019 with no physical validity or mechanical rigour.\u2028<\/p>\n

For the piece to \u2018stand upright,\u2019 it needs some other mechanical support; in this case, a metal \u2018G\u2019 clamp, which is in clear view.\u2028<\/p>\n

The holographic \u2018support\u2019 is only visible when light falls onto the glass plate onto which it has been recorded.<\/p>\n

\u2028If the light is extinguished, does the support stop supporting?<\/p>\n
