The Folding Stereoscopic Viewer utilises front-surface mirrors and high-resolution photographic prints to recreate full-size three-dimensional scenes that have been captured with a specially designed camera system. In addition to the existing images, such as EVE and the Mirror in the Bathroom series, stereoscopic portraits and other subjects can be specially commissioned for display in the viewer.
