Additional Information
In 2003, Jersey Heritage commissioned a holographic portrait of The Queen. The portrait was conducted as a creative collaboration between artist Chris Levine and holographer Rob Munday. ‘Equanimity’ is the first official holographic portrait of The Queen, resulting in an over-life-size three dimensional image. The sitting was held in the Yellow Drawing Room at Buckingham Palace on 24 March 2004. The team were given three days prior to the shoot to set up and test the equipment that was designed and built by Munday, a unique 3D camera system commissioned especially for the shoot. Levine chose the name ‘Equanimity’ for the portrait, meaning ‘the quality of being calm and even-tempered’. A copy of ‘Equanimity’ was installed at The Queen’s Gallery in Buckingham Palace and a second copy was unveiled by The Prince of Wales in June 2004 at The Jersey Museum.
