In their recent collaboration, Mark Stockton and Edgar Endress use stereo photography to create 3-D anaglyphs that depict members of a Japanese animation club in Trenton, New Jersey. In these portraits, the participants are dressed in costumes of their own design, inspired by their admiration of Japanese anime and cinema. Using a panoramic frame and the illusion of 3D, the artists complete the fantastical identity that their subjects have chosen. Composed within timeless landscapes, these identities are further romanticized and re-envisioned as their cinematic counterparts. The artists question identity and representation in photography, creating anachronous portraits that exist somewhere between fantasy and reality.
