An exhibition of new holographic works by Eric Leiser, accompanied by an expanded cinematic shadow puppet performance by Eric Leiser and Niloufar Samadi.

Holos Gramma—a phrase coined by holography pioneer Dennis Gabor translating to “the whole picture”—considers how holography captures the immense amount of information contained within perceived reality. Through a site-specific installation, Eric Leiser will present new holographic assemblage works composed of both physical and captured hand-sculpted ceramics that mimic found and imagined organic forms. Inspired by the intersections of natural and scientific imagery, these arrangements mirror the hierarchies of the infinite and interstitial space between real and virtual structures in holography. Each hologram is composed of a Slavich laser-sensitive holographic film plate painted with emulsion-staining chemistry, then encoded with the objects’ three-dimensional information with laser light at a microscopic level.
