Panorama is born with a very specific mission: to help create and reinforce a global consciousness regarding the different challenges we as a society face in terms of landscape and territory.

For that reason, we’ve decided to create this platform to join together artistic projects with didactic content to attempt to reach, in the easiest and most comprehensive way, this reflexion to a large part of the society.

We believe that artistic projects accompanied by specialized texts are the best tool for any person, even those who haven’t  shown interest in this subjects before, to understand how as a society we need to reflect on our relationship with landscape and territory.

With this idea Panorama aims to become a big archive where anyone can meet and consult the different authors regarding this matters. And what’s also important, to contemplate them from different points of view.

Panorama nace con una misión muy concreta: ayudar a crear/reforzar una conciencia global sobre los distintos retos que tenemos como sociedad en relación al territorio y al paisaje.

Para ello, hemos decidido crear esta plataforma que aglutina proyectos artísticos con contenidos didácticos para intentar hacer llegar, de la manera más fácil y entendedora posible, esta reflexión a un amplio conjunto de la sociedad.

Creemos que los proyectos artísticos acompañados de textos especializados son la mejor herramienta para que cualquier persona, aunque nunca antes se haya interesado por estos temas, pueda comprender que como sociedad tenemos que hacer una reflexión sobre nuestra relación con el territorio y el paisaje.

Panorama pretende con esta idea convertirse en un gran archivo donde cualquiera pueda conocer y consultar los distintos autores que trabajan en torno a estas cuestiones. Y lo que también es muy importante, contemplarlas desde distintos puntos de vista.

Panorama neix amb un objectiu molt concret: ajudar a crear/reforçar una consciència global sobre els diferents reptes que tenim com a societat en relació al territori i al paisatge.

Per això, hem decidit aquesta plataforma que aglutina projectes artístics amb continguts didàctics per intentar fer arribar, de la manera més fàcil y comprensible possible, aquesta reflexió a un ampli conjunt de la societat.

Creiem que els projectes artístics acompanyats de textos especialitzats son la millor eina per a que qualsevol persona, tot i que no s’hagi interessat mai abans per aquests temes, pugui comprendre que com a societat hem de fer una reflexió sobre la nostre relació amb el territori i el paisatge.

Panorama pretén amb aquesta idea convertir-se en un gran arxiu on qualsevol pugui conèixer i consultar els diversos autors que treballen a l’entorn d’aquestes qüestions. I el que també és molt important, contemplar-les des de diferents punts de vista.

The New Warsaw is a series of documentary pictures showing landscapes and architecture of Warsaw suburbs. Pictures which have been taken from the beginning of 2010, present the story of suburbs of a fast expanding city. The aim of the project was to show new and undiscovered places, the parts of the city where most of the Warsaw citizens never venture. Taking pictures of the things ordinary and uninteresting on the first look has to be considered as an attempt of making a document which shows a new areas of the city. Just recently all these places were still wilderness, but tomorrow they will be a part of the metropolis. The pictures are taken in the various conditions, different seasons, but always with specific soft light of the sunrise or twilight. Pastel colors, a lack of the contours, air prospect and consequent horizontal framing are used to show the moment before the architect’s vision would transform the landscape of uncontrollable wild nature. The picture of inhabited buildings is referring to visualizations made by architects. The wide view of the landscapes is follows the tradition of painting.
