Jessica Silverman presents “Binocular Rivalry,” Julian Hoeber’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, running from June 5 through July 11, 2026. The exhibition showcases a diverse range of new works, including paintings, a wall-mounted sculpture, and a video piece designed to be viewed with 3D glasses. The collection centers on the artist's exploration of stereoscopic vision and the 19th-century stereoscope, challenging viewers to engage with the active mechanics of their own sight.
The title refers to the neurological phenomenon where the brain struggles to reconcile two different images presented to each eye simultaneously. By depicting everyday scenes through juxtaposed imagery, Hoeber investigates the complexity of visual perception in a digital age. The works ultimately aim to transform the act of looking from a passive experience into a self-aware operation, encouraging the audience to 'see themselves seeing.'
