In a certain sense, the Objects series is a continuation of the artist’s two earlier works, What Does Photographing Mean? (2010) and In Terms of Hardware (2012). While in the former, it is the image variants, created with analogue technology and multiple exposures, that generate an almost psychedelic perception of space; in the latter, the blow-up process uses lenticular optics—developed in the first half of the 20th century—and an original that was exposed multiple times. In both cases, the result is a silver gelatin print. Objects, Szegedy-Maszák’s work owned by the Ludwig Museum, was created using digital technology. All images in the series are based on the same three overlapping digital photographs projected onto virtual three-dimensional objects (in this case, cones). The difference is in the color mixing, resulting from different algorithms, giving the works their unusually vivid color spectrum. The spatial depth is a result of the lenticular optics mounted onto the images, while the “propeller-effect” is the outcome of the deliberately faulty joining (by a few hundredths of a millimeter) of the lens. The circles (disks) emerging at the center merely structure the images created by the interfering layers. The resulting strong spatial and color effect is very similar to that of backlit displays. As stereoscopic images, these works are all unique and cannot be reproduced through photography or film. KD
