Cool Holograms & Micro Mayhem

2020

13 - 27 February

Cool holograms

People who were around in the 1980s would tend to think of holograms (if they ever do any more) as those eerie green images (sometimes red or orange) occasionally found in gift shops, or the rainbow coloured ones on comic books or cereal boxes.

Those were certainly the dominant types used by the hologram industry of which I was a part in those days, but from the 1970s onwards there has been a different palette available to artists and designers who prefer a cooler look to their work, more akin to black and white photography or the hand-tinted images of the Victorian era.

Micro Mayhem

Over the last year I have been exploring two totally new (to me) mediums.     Lenticular imaging and macro photography.

Finding that travel was limited with two young children,   rather than recording documentary images as I did with my sterographic holograms.  I decided that it might be easier to create little scenes in my studio in Monmouthshire.

As in a lot of situations,   I came to the conclusion that less was more,   I simplified the scenes down to a few basic elements.

An Invitation

The Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection website has been running for fifteen years so we decided it was time for a new look.

The new format has scope for lots more material so I would like to invite all the holographers whose work is featured here to submit background information, stories and images to supplement those I have provided. That way we can work together to make this the best resource on holographic imaging to be found on the web.

About the Collection

The Jonathan Ross Hologram Collection, based in London, UK, is one of the largest resources in the world for creative, display and commercial holography.

A number of touring exhibitions, containing work from the collection, have been presented in outstanding museums and galleries both within the UK and abroad. Information about new acquisitions and exhibitions is added here on a regular basis.
