Major collection: Holography
Named collection: Holography Collection
Object type: hologram
Maker: Multiplex Moving Holograms
Date made: date unknown
Materials: 360° integral stereogram (Multiplex); film
Measurements: 9 1/2 in x 50 in
Nomenclature: fine art
Classification: holograms

Three sheets of film adhered together with clear tape to form one continuous image (each sheet is a 120° hologram); film is placed in a special rotating structure. As structure rotates, viewer sees a woman in jeans and t-shirt doing exercises; at first, she is shown with back to viewer, her arms spread apart; as structure rotates, the whole scene rotates so that by time structure finishes a rotation, she has spun around 360°; her back is once again visible by end of rotation; as structure rotates, she moves and waves her arms in exercise.


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.
