Image Size: 69 x 57 cm English: Lenticular photography, unique work, mounted on Alu-Dibond, in original silver metal frame without glass 69,5 x 57,9 cm, in very good condition. LITERATURE Alfons Schilling, Ich / Auge / Welt - The Art of Vision, Vienna, New York 1997; Alfons Schilling, Beyond Photography, cat. WestLicht Vienna 2017, p. 80f. (same series). From 1967 to 1971, Alfons Schilling devoted himself to lenticular photography, in which a special process combines different shots, whereby only one image is perceivable at a time, depending on the angle of view. When the head is moved, the images change, making the viewer aware of the relativity of perception. The photographs used were taken during the street riots on the occasion of the Democratic Party Convention in Chicago at the end of August 1968. In this example from the Burning Cars series, he combined two photographs taken shortly after each other and achieved a shimmering effect. Works by Schilling of this quality and relevance are very rarely offered.
