Stereo II

Photographic stereoscopic installation

Shot : Jean-René Lorand / Christl Lidl

2 shot / 2 times: 1 stereoscopic image

Stereo is made up of 2 photographs of the same facade that is supported by scaffolding.

The first shot has been taken during the day, the second in street light.

The resulting stereoscopic image is a ‘third time’ image made from the combined light of day and night. Through a mirrors display the spectator eyes try to focus on both images. Through the empty windows, the dark blue colour of the sky at night interferes with the white sky of the day shot. The scaffold structure's colour varies between grey and ochrer. The architecture showed in stereoscopy becomes uncertain.

Both photographs hung facing each other. The spectator stands in the center of the space in front of an optical device made up of 2 mirrors. Each mirror reflects one of the photographs. The spectator combines visually both images and create a third in stereoscope.
