Light Support

Thursday, 01 January 1987 00:00 Published in Holography

Title: Light Support

Date: 1987

Edition: Unique

Materials: Reflection hologram on glass, industrial 'G' clamp.

Size: H14 x W10.5 cm (4 " x 5")

Notes: Produced for the Works for Shelves exhibition held at Kettles Yard Gallery, Cambridge, UK, in 1987.

The works highlights the unseen 'support' usually placed at the back of a photographic frame and used to keep the frame upright.
Here, this support is recorded holographically onto the glass plate it should be supporting.

This is a visual and theoretical 'support' with no physical validity or mechanical rigour. For the piece to 'stand upright' it needs some other mechanical support, in this case a metal 'G' clamp which is in clear view.

The holographic 'support' is only visible when light falls onto the glass plate on which it has been recorded. If the light is extinguished does the support stop supporting?
