Stereoscopes
The stereoscopes present 3D images. The images presented as illuminated slides enclosed in light boxes are observed through special viewing glasses, creating an intimate experience for the viewer. The subjects have been staged and photographed either in the studio or externally. The work is concerned with ideas of reproduction and illusion and explores an aspect of the history of photography and the presentation of the image. The stereoscopes are part of an ongoing body of works that examine how 3 dimensional and moving images are constructed.

Garden Stereoscopes 2001
