Willy Le Maitre at Canada NYC

How do you make a 2-D image that is also a time-based artwork? Willy Le Maitre’s answer is to include multiple images in a lenticular print, so that, for example, a children’s play area runs together with icy branches and a glowing screen. Le Maitre explains that as viewers move back and forth before a piece, they use their eyes and their memory of what they’ve just seen to complete the picture. (At Canada NYC on the Lower East Side through June 5th).
