About the book

For his panoramarand project Matthias Klos walked along the entire city bounda- ries of Salzburg. The route description for his itinerary was the Umschreibung der Stadtgrenze, i.e. the city limits as set out in the city ordinance. Very much in the tradition of the flâneur, Matthias Klos followed this written yet imaginary line around Salzburg, keeping to public rights of way the whole time. The idea for the project came from the well-known 19th century panoramic painting of the city by Johann Michael Sattler. Projected with an idealised 360° perspective the painting opens up views of the city and its outskirts from a central location on the Festungs- berg that was not publicly accessible at the time of painting. In his wanderings along the city limits the artist combines the legislative order of the abstract bound- ary with the image that the city of Salz- burg likes to project of itself with localities situated along the boundary line.
