The 360° 16mm Moving Picture Panorama is a visionary construction with 16 film projectors that project a film in a circle onto a projection screen set up around them. Linked to a central motor, the 16mm projectors project a film circularly, in a loop with no beginning and no end, like an installation. The film runs from one projector to the next, looping in and out of each of them successively. Film technician Nico Komen worked on this machine until his death in 2022. Artists and technicians from the Rotterdam-based, artist-run lab Filmwerkplaats then took charge of the installation, perfecting the first eight projectors and turning a working 180° panorama into a reality. During this process, several film artists were invited to develop a work and shed light on the machine’s possibilities.
