Spatial relations cannot always immediately be understood in two-dimensional space. This obfuscation of scale and depth has been an important element in my work, as it underlines the visual abstraction I am pursuing. Yet I have always been interested in stereoscopy, wondering how it can be used to achieve a confusion of spatial perception within 3D space. III=III is an experiment, a first attempt at creating impossible spaces that aim to disrupt traditional notions of three-dimensionality." Max Hattler in POST PiXEL.
