‘Panorama’ reconfigures photography as a sculptural encounter with bodily presence, movement and time. It is built around a modified rotating unit from a 70-year-old panoramic film camera, transforming image-making from a frictionless screen gesture into an event of anticipation, motion and sound. Its pared-back form honours the history of cameras, whilst integrating modern aesthetics. Here, Yasuaki Matsuura, who has a background in camera and product design, reveals how photographs are shaped by duration, effort and position – conditions contemporary interfaces, like smartphones, conceal. The work remains operational and can still make photographs on film.
