Cyclorama presents panoramic views filmed in 35mm time-lapse at nine revolving restaurants across North America. Displayed side by side in a cylindrical enclosure that mimics the restaurants’ architecture, the synchronized images create the illusion of a single, continuous, moving landscape, offering nine simultaneous sunrises and erasing time zones. 

The installation reveals the revolving restaurant to be a paradox: wanting to be in many places at once while desiring to duplicate a familiar moment.



Nine-channel video installation, Color, sound. Duration: 3m20s.
