Cyclorama, 1999 Exhibitions The Art of Design: Selections from the SF MoMA Collection, San Filmed in 35mm at nine revolving restaurants across North America—including ones in Seattle, Las Vegas, St. Louis, and New York—Cyclorama presents nine panoramas side by side in a cylindrical enclosure that mimics the restaurants’ architecture, creating the sense of one continuous, moving landscape. The sun rises at the same moment on each screen, erasing time zones and providing a 360-degree view of the Western horizon.
