Self Portrait of the Artist as a Dead Man, 1982 (test plate for the head)
Horologram, c.1984
Flying 3D, 1984
 

Margaret Benyon wrote in The Creative Holography Index

“He is most likely to be remembered by his ‘Self Portrait of the Artist as a Dead Man’ because it was prophetic of his early death. Holographic casts of Adrian’s naked body were assembled in a coffin and carried through the streets of London in a funeral cortege. The piece resembles the ancient Chinese mortuary figure of the Han dynasty, the Jade Princess’, with its bizarre suit of greenish flat plates.”

Since Adrian’s death, the whereabouts of this work have been unknown, so it was exciting to discover a test plate of the holographic recording of the cast of his face among the works in the archive.

Full installation with multiple reflection holograms and physical coffin.

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.
