'APSARAS'

'Apsaras' Master Transmission Holograms - How special are they?

These remarkable (and quite spectacular) pulsed-laser life size transmission hologram masters by Al Razutis represent a series of 'frames' in a motion-picture proof of concept project, showing these Buddhist 'sky creatures' (or angels) flying as images focused in space. This motion picture concept featured true holographic motion-pictures projected in space not imitations and fakes as are seen widely.

They were created by Al Razutis as his expression of Buddhist 'Apsaras' for consideration in the use of theater in China on the tales of the 'Silk Road' which was to be artistic directed by Prof. Z. Wang and backed by the provincial government of Lanzhou, China. Commissioned by Prof. Wang, created by Al Razutis with the directed participation and assistance of Mei-man Lee (actor), Rob Taylor (holography lab director), Allen Miller (holography lab owner), Anne Popperwell (costumes, preparations, and gallery installation) these are a host of masters that can be grouped together and exhibited in a dark gallery space 'with the wind'.

Six of these 'Apsaras' were placed on exhibition at Lanzhou City University Dun-Huang Creative Center in October 2014. They were viewed by government officials, the media, academics and engineers who came to the exhibit and demonstration. They were received enthusiastically and we agreed on future works to be conducted at a new Centre for Motion-Picture Holography in China to be set up by Razutis.

A change in emphasis away from 'western ideas and technology' in 2014 by the central government of China meant that this project was delayed, then cut loose.

The 12 works remaining (others are in public or private collections) are depicted here along with 2D photos of them. For stereoscopic 3D photos see Apsaras in 3D photos
