Filmed in 35mm time-lapse at nine revolving restaurants across North America, Cyclorama presents panoramic views side by side in a cylindrical enclosure that mimics the restaurants’ architecture, creating the sense of one continuous, moving landscape.

The panoramas offer nine simultaneous sunrises, erasing time zones and providing a continuous 360-degree view of the western horizon. The installation reveals the revolving restaurant to be a paradox: wanting to be in many places at one time while desiring to duplicate a familiar moment.

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