An ARTPIX release.

An interactive disc (virtual tour) that brings the Mexican fantasy garden of Edward James to virtual life. Inspired by the vision of Edward James, and encouraged by curator and art historian Walter Hopps, Robert Ziebell, in collaboration with Anthony Thompson Shumate, have spent the last three years photographing, designing and programming Las Pozas: STEPS & FALLS. With this project Ziebell and Shumate have created a unique virtual environment though an interactive documentary and video experience that allows the viewer to explore the garden as if they were actually there.

Using a special calibrated tripod that is designed to photograph 360° views, Ziebell recorded over twenty of the sites in the garden including the structures Puente de Bambú (Bamboo Bridge), Casa de los Pericos (House of the Small Parrots), Vereda de Los Serpientes (Path of the Snakes) and the Plaza de Don Eduardo. The resulting panoramas can be directed by the viewer to allow one to look completely around at any given location as well as to look up through the jungle canopy overhead or down at the concrete steps and platforms that are underfoot.
Further Information:

Las Pozas: Steps & Falls is dedicated to the memory of Walter Hopps (1932-2005) whose own visionary ideas and pleasures in art found resonance in the singular vision manifested in the garden.
