Three sheets of film adhered together with clear tape to form one continuous image (each sheet is a 120-degree hologram); film is placed in a special rotating structure. As structure rotates, viewer sees a nude woman shot from above; she performs exaggerated movements and contortions, in which she moves from a standing position where she is bent over backwards to bending over forwards to a semi-suppine position in which she braces herself off the groundwith her arms under her back; rainbow-colored image.


Please note that due to the unique challenges of holography as a medium, high-resolution digital images are not available for most items in the holography collection. Please contact us for more information on reproducing images of holograms.
