Parallel
France
2020
The wish to explore is often fuelled by a fantasy filled with images, and experience can prove quite different from our mental projections. Whether a tourist or a philosopher, a memory collector is free to draw the line between dream and reality where they wish. With his installation, Cyrille Robin invites viewers to follow the photographer’s gesture with an object designed to visit the world without travelling.
“Parallel 3D” is a series of stereoscopic discs made and adapted manually by Cyrille Robin. Shown through vintage View-Master slide viewers, typical 1960s objects, the discs give the viewer the chance to experience 3D vision. Taken between 2014 and 2016 in Venezuela, Egypt and Cambodia, the pictures shown are about the making of photographic memories in the context of touristic travels.
