From the early panoramas of the 18th century to the virtual spaces of today’s computers, development of spatial representation has always intrigued Bigert & Bergström. The idea of turning spaces inside out evolved from their earlier works of elaborate room installations, like the “Climate Chambers”. But, instead of wrapping the sculpture around the viewer, the spherical photograph places the audience outside a spherical reflection of a room. The artists have developed a technique in which they combine old globe-making methods with new ways of recording space, using panorama stitching and 3D-visualization.By connecting these images, a molecular structure occurs that enable the artists to document a site or situation in physical form.
This is phenomenally cool.
