Stereographs are really effective at observing the small details of an image that I might otherwise miss. I never had an interest in them until I slowed down and looked through a series of photographs of different minorities laboring in the fields. Certain parts of the image felt more solidified, or calcified looking through the stereoscope versus looking with the naked eye. The photograph almost became a sculpture to me. I’m not necessarily interested in using a stereoscope, but I would be interested in exploring this idea with various lenses and playing with the sense of sight more abstractly.
