Abstract<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

This article examines replication as a preservation strategy for Angel<\/em> (1975\u201376), a collaborative work by performer Simone Forti and holographer Lloyd Cross. The installation centers on an integral hologram capturing Forti\u2019s movement, but light and heat exposure during display accelerate its deterioration, threatening the image\u2019s longevity. Also, due to its fragility and risk of damage, Angel<\/em> has strict display policies that limit viewer access. To allow for a longer and safer exhibition period, replication was explored as a possible solution. Forti emphasized the hologram\u2019s central role and the importance of spatial movement\u2014viewers walking and orbiting around the piece\u2014for the intended experience of the artwork. The research concluded that a photochemically produced exhibition copy could serve as a display version, while the original hologram would be preserved as the master. This approach would extend display time and restore the work\u2019s interactive quality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Resumen<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Este art\u00edculo examina la reproducci\u00f3n como una estrategia para la preservaci\u00f3n de \u00c1ngel <\/em>(1975-76), un trabajo colaborativo entre la performista Simone Forti y el holografista Lloyd Cross. La instalaci\u00f3n se centra en un holograma integral que captura el movimiento de Forti, pero la exposici\u00f3n a la luz y al calor durante su exhibici\u00f3n aceleran su deterioro y amenazan la longevidad de la imagen. Asimismo, debido a su fragilidad y al riesgo de da\u00f1o, \u00c1ngel <\/em>tiene pol\u00edticas estrictas de exhibici\u00f3n que limitan el acceso del espectador. Para permitir un per\u00edodo de exhibici\u00f3n m\u00e1s largo y seguro, se explor\u00f3 la reproducci\u00f3n como una posible soluci\u00f3n. Forti enfatiz\u00f3 el rol clave del holograma y la importancia del movimiento espacial \u2013 los espectadores caminando y orbitando alrededor de la pieza \u2013 para conseguir la experiencia deseada con respecto a la obra de arte. La investigaci\u00f3n concluy\u00f3 que una copia producida de manera fotoqu\u00edmica podr\u00eda servir como una versi\u00f3n para ser exhibida, mientras que el holograma original se preservar\u00eda como la matriz. Esta estrategia extender\u00eda el tiempo de exhibici\u00f3n y recuperar\u00eda la calidad interactiva de la obra.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
