Rainbow holograms in art

This example nicely shows the special effect of rainbow holograms: If you tilt them around the horizontal axis, the photo runs through the spectral colors. If you move them around the vertical axis, they show the three-dimensionality of the recorded object. This opens up many possibilities for art projects, since with this method you not only have three representable dimensions but also colors for designing the art object.

The hologram was created in 1978 at the chair for theoretical electrical engineering at the Ruhr University in Bochum.
