Interview with Susan Gamble

Susan Gamble describes how she made Knickers and Stockings and why she chose these subjects for holograms.

In this intimate conversation with Phillips Auction House, Susan Gamble reflects on the creation of two iconic transmission holograms from her 1982 series "The Body in Question." The works capture everyday objects with a directness that questions their cultural significance and challenges conventional approaches to representation.

Gamble discusses the technical and conceptual challenges of working with holography in the early 1980s, and how the medium's unique properties allowed her to investigate objects not just as visual forms but as carriers of cultural meaning and social history.
