Description
The stereoscope is a device to make images appear three-dimensional by presenting each eye with a slightly different point of view of the same scene; in attempting to reconcile the difference, the eye is tricked into seeing volume. In Stereoscope the artist employs a reverse maneuver. A split screen dismembers three-dimensional reality into complementary but unsynchronized realities – a split suggestive to Soho’s divided self. Scenes of civic chaos point to individual disquiet and internal conflict, rather than attempting an objective portrait of external events
