Yesterday I was able to see a group of Douglas Prince's Photo Sculptures at the Harn Museum in Gainesville, FL.
I was blown away at not only the technique, but the emotions stirred within.

Douglas layers positive negatives within a backlit glass box which is 5 or 6 inches square. The positive negative is backed by glass/plexiglass to provide stability, then give depth.
Each glass is then separated by various minute distances to give a 3D effect. The boxes are all approx 4 inches deep.
I have a few questions on technique.
1. How are positive negatives made? For me it would be taking a negative, put it on a light box, then photographing it.
2. How to take a negative or positive and separate out of it an image or group of images?
3. How are negatives adhered to glass/plexiglass?
Any advice would be helpful
Thanks
