ART IS DEAD
LONG LIVE DEATH

Not being a man of words, yet wanting to express instances in the given symbolism I will attempt to express my visual wishes in words.

'Three men on a dark windy evening in Scotland carry a boat above their heads with a quietness associated with moorland winds. They want to investigate a light on the opposite shore. As they lower the boat into the water two of the men collapse, as if shot, and begin to dissolve in the water like sherbet. The third man watches on in horror and responds by turning to the boat for a quick escape, only to find himself sat rigidly, constrained by a seatbelt, in a friend's car. He wonders if he screamed. No one in the car is looking at him. His eyelids remain open and heavy.

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.
