Harriet Casdin-Silver has been an artist-holographer for over twenty-five years; her newest series of works, which includes To Van Eyck and Bosch, marks her continued engagement with issues beyond, and yet bound up with, new forms of visual representation. Essentially an extremely dense sandwich of images captured via reected laser light, the hologram is alternately dimly visible and pushing forward into three-dimensional space. Casdin-Silver’s life-size images of fragmented human forms record her efforts to “dig out of those bodies a taste of human passion and angst, a special heady savor that cannot be depicted by any other medium.”
