Multiple channel silver-halide transmission hologram on mirror, 18’’ x 23’’ Edition of four
Layers of color and space create an atmospheric landscape inspired by water and grasses in this dynamic holographic image. As the viewer moves around the colors and shapes shift unifying a sense of being with the holographic scene.
Setsuko Ishii is a prolific holographic artist. Her works create a symbiosis of light, nature and perception. Holograms are Ishii’s medium of choice for visual explorations of nature and natural phenomena. Sculptural elements are combined with holographic images in her numerous exhibitions and public installations. Built into installations her holograms charge architectural space with dynamic color and natural forms. Ishii’s outdoor installations play on atmospheric conditions – viewing changing throughout the day and contingent on sunlight. The limitation, or control, of viewing is a property of the hologram Ishii utilizes to construct compositions from multiple recordings which can be seen from different positions. Viewing her work is a negotiation between physical and abstract space. A synergy erupts through the dynamics of intense color, entrancing the viewer into an environment of light.
