A Doctor for Animals represents an experimental investigation into anaglyph 3D technology within the controlled environment of CalArts' Black and White Studio. This immersive installation explores the intersection of light, space, and temporal documentation through the lens of personal memory and cultural nostalgia.

The work manifests as an anaglyph 3D strobing installation featuring a carefully constructed still life of mirrored and glass objects suspended between red and blue strobe lights. As atmospheric fog rises around the composition, the installation creates a dynamic optical environment that shifts between visibility and invisibility, requiring anaglyph 3D glasses to fully experience the dimensional play of light and reflection.

Central to this meditation is the presence of Booboo, my ten-year-old white German Shepherd, whose restful form anchors the frenetic technological documentation surrounding him. In his tired eyes and peaceful repose, I captured a moment of interspecies communion that speaks to deeper longings for connection and understanding. The work references Doctor Bubo, a beloved Hungarian animated series about an owl doctor that shaped my childhood imagination—a world where language barriers dissolve and care transcends species.

This optical playset functions as an alternative arrangement to the Rainbow-Land D.I.Y. installation featured in The Fog Knows exhibit. Viewers navigate around the installation, adjusting their position to witness how components flash in and out of existence through the interplay of anaglyph glasses, strobing lights, and atmospheric effects. The beams of light become visible in midair through fog, creating a liminal space where technology and intimacy, energy and rest, Hungarian memory and American present converge in suspended animation.
