PANORAMIA: capturing moments and movements through time

Panoramia is a series of photographic experiments that reimagine a familiar technology—the iPhone’s panorama feature—as a tool for capturing movement. Instead of stitching together static landscapes, these images are created through relative motion: on a high-speed train from Zurich to Paris, along train rides through India toward Rishikesh, on boats in New York, and across cities like Chicago and Zurich. Streets, houses, water, and wake unfold in sequence, producing images that feel layered, fluid, and at times surreal. In one work, a nine-foot-tall photograph is formed by stitching the wake of a boat from the New York City skyline to the Statue of Liberty; in another, a single moving performer is stitched during a play in Paris, while the rest of the scene remains still.

These photographs are not just about motion through space, but motion through time. I am drawn to the idea that all our past versions continue to exist, spread across time—and that a single image can bring some of those moments together. Panoramia became a way to put that belief into form. One outcome of these explorations is an interactive self-portrait studio developed for the MIT Museum, where visitors can see their faces stitched together in real time. By repurposing everyday technology, the work offers a way of seeing that moves beyond a single instant, revealing a self composed across many moments.
