Stereo Photography

So far in my research, I have been particularly drawn to photography and the various forms of manipulation that can be used in order to enhance an image and really make it come to life. Photography, just like film, is fascinating in its timeless ability to tell or reveal a story. 
I am always allured by the beauty of photographs from the past, as they reveal so much about people or settings in one snapshot. A photograph is essentially a vessel of the past, revealing moments from our pasts or history that allow us to reminisce on, or learn about.

I am also really interested in the ways photographic images can be digitally manipulated to enhance its effect, particularly the ways in which gifs can be created in order to form an animation. To me, gifs are a hybridisation of photographs and films. Animated images exaggerate the telling of a story by bringing life to a previous 2D photograph. To further narrow this down, I am really fascinated by the concept of "stereo photography", which is essentially two 2D photographs layered into a gif. I really loved the music video that Jeremy showed in class for Kirin Callinan's "Way to War", which is composed entirely of photographs that have been layered into animated form (gif?) in order to create a 3D materiality to the images.
