A seven-year retrospective of 20 theatrically-inspired white-light transmission holograms by Dan Schweitzer that traced the development of Schweitzer from a representational to abstract artist.

Included was his famous 1977 study, "Movie Theatre," in which Schweitzer is seen extending his hand from the "silver scree" into a movie audience. Emblematic of his later art was "Perpetual Motion," in which light fused into a variety of moving shapes.
