- Abstract
- In this essay, I suggest an exploration of the historical, cultural, and representational consequences of heterogeneous temporalities in relation to the recent return of the panorama in contemporary art and visual culture. Taking as an entry point the socio-historical concept of the “simultaneousness of the non-simultaneous” (Gleichzeitigkeit des Ungleichzeitigen) coined by Ernst Bloch and developed by the historian Reinhart Koselleck, I will show how contemporary artists such as David Claerbout, Victor Burgin, and John Gerrard employ panoramic image-making and perception in order to reflect the complex and multilayered experience of temporality, history, and memory in contemporary media culture.
