Panorama speaks most clearly to the themes of a disconnected experience in nature. A single-channel video of 37 minutes, the work examines tourists entering and passing through the recognizable wildlife of the Pacific North-West of America’s national parks. We see the walkways working to keep the tourist from their emersion in awe-inspiring nature, yet automatically and almost as if a requirement, the tourists add another partition by placing a screen between themselves and their enviroment. As such they have inadvertently reduced a 360 degree vantage point to no-more-than a 10 centimetre wide LCD display.
