Holograph comes from the Greek words "holo", meaning whole and "graph", meaning message. The combination means "the whole message" which is exactly what the holograph gives the viewer.

Agam's HOLOGRARH 1 is a "reflective holograph" requiring only an ordinary uncoated light bulb on one side of the film plate to become a magical window displaying three dimensional visions of objects. These objects shift position and perspective exactly as they would if they were really there, where they only appear to be.

Agam creates images and spaces that cannot be seen in every day life or in standard art forms. Holography takes his work into yet another dimension and beyond conventional limitations. He unlocks a new visual experience for the viewer giving an increased awareness of form.

Agam entitled his holograph "Homage to Einstein" perhaps because of Einstein's obsession with questions of light and velocity. Einstein posed the question to himself, "if a man were able to move alongside a beam of light at its own velocity, how would its electromagnetic waves appear to him?" After ten years of study he developed his special Theory of Relativity. Agam may see his holograph in relation to the question posed by Einstein. Rerhaps this is how Agam thinks electromagnetic waves would appear.
