Final works in collaboration with Hans Bjelkhagen
"The Flag (1996) by Anait and Hans Bjelkhagen --
full colour silver halide hologram on glass --
signed by the artist, size: 8” x 10” (20 x 25 cm)
"The colour hologram here was recorded at Lake Forest College, Illinois, USA, in co-operation with Hans Bjelkhagen. A pseudoscopic colour sculpture of the flag, with the stars falling off the flag, was created by Anaït. This art piece for the hologram was recorded using three (RGB) lasers on a Russian Slavich panchromatic PFG-03c silver-halide emulsion. During the recording, the emulsion side of the plate was facing the reference beam and not the object. When the hologram plate is flipped-around when on display, the image appears in front of the plate with a large field of view. Anaït had been using pseudoscopic holographic imagery for her earlier reflection holograms and wanted it also for her first colour hologram. She explained since it is difficult to show this effect by photography, video, etc., and mentioned: You have to see it to believe (in) it."

News from our video archives:
The pioneering work in holographic art of ANAIT ARUTUNOFF STEPHENS (1922-1998) or 'ANAIT', has gone largely unappreciated until now. With a personal knowlege of her work and the person Al Razutis has added some videos to her legacy and the West-Coast Artists in Light project in the form of several analog (NTSC) videos which are low resolution by today's standards but are rare finds of historical gold.
