S.F.Kislev – Mother and Child

For the 19th Würfel commission S. F. Kislev has converted the cube into a futuristic ViewMaster. After working for about a decade with stereoscopy Kislev became particularly interested in the quality of a medium format stereoscopic camera, first manufactured in China around 2007, which achieves an uncanny effect of hyper-reality, a heightened vision. 

A photograph, taken by Kislev, of a pink-faced Japanese macaque monkey nursing her child is the image seen through the lenses, the nature is soft and tender. Altogether the work presents a futurist vision of peace, albeit as a strange collaboration between impossible technology and monkeys.
