"Robert Munn and Sara Cook make work involving lenticular lenses (a technology slightly related to holography and diffraction gratings). They call the aggressively 3-D (but flat in reality) photographs "depthography." See them - they are impressive. Although some of Munn and Cook's work is representational and animated, the ones at Klein are abstract." Robin Rice/ Philadelphia Citypaper 8.18.09
