360º Motion Picture Panorama

The Motion Picture Panorama is built up from a single 16mm film which is guided through a plurality of (up to 16) film projectors, creating a continuous 360 ° landscape. This is achieved through a camera movement that, with the same speed at which the projectors show the film, makes a 360 ° turn.
The panoramic projection device with multiple synchronized 16mm film projectors is a realized dream of film technician Nico Komen.

During the 2023 SPECTRAL residency program at Filmwerkpaats Richard Tuohy and Dianna Barrie (AU) were invited to create a piece for the Motion Picture Panorama device.

Everyday Traffic
Everyday traffic on a quotidian Rotterdam’s 'plein'. Its 'busyness' flits in and out of existence, yet the plein continues. In the timeless battle of bodies in space, space is king.
