One can play a violin. Theatre is a played performance. And you press the play button of a DVD-player to watch a movie. Play the Panorama should be seen as a play or even as a game. A play often must be shared. One cannot play alone. One plays a game with some friends. Moreover these types of panoramas are also a form of travelogue, they tell a story about a part of this world. We are moved in space and in time. The unknown journey and the evolving drawing itself, are the main characters of this tale. No one can predict the course of these panoramas, however a storyline will eventually emerge. A panorama play should be infinite. It should never stop: the rules simply do not allow it. To end this game is not to win or to lose, but to destroy it by breaking a fundamental rule. That the final outcome is not known makes it a true game. Played not for winning but to share an infinitely expanding horizon. To develop an astonishing story we cannot finish. Like in most games and stories there is an element of risk involved. Will the instrument be relayed? The length, the course, and the quality of the travelogues that will be written is very unpredictable. Each single participant controls the faith of the entire drawing. |
Genuine travelers travel not to overcome distance but to discover distance. And the artist’s distance is not determined by the measurable length between places, but by the actual differences between them. |
