Frottage (2016)
Granite, Lambda print, Acrylic mount

A stereoscopic work using random dot stereogram. Ancient iconographic figures carved in the rock appears three-dimensionally from sand patterns on the granite surface when viewing the surface stereoscopically (the intersection method). The original figures carved in the rock have roughness and contain the thin layer of time. In this work, stereoscopic vision is a method to see through the past and to experience the touch sensation of rubbing the surface with eyes like frottage to obtain the image and texture with hands.
