Panoramas

For the exhibition, the organizers prepared scenographic reconstruction of a roundabout, a major attraction in major European cities in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century. The roundabouts were rod-shaped buildings built especially to house large panoramas. In the exhibition, you will see a view of Rio de Janeiro, shown in Paris in 1824. The image, which has 11 meters of perimeter in a circular structure, was the first representation of Brazil in Europe. There is also a room equipped with five projectors and a screen 3 meters high by 20 meters long, semicircular in shape, with projections of sequential panoramas of Brazilian cities between photographs and prints. The idea is to give visitors the feeling then experienced by visitors of urban entertainment which is the precursor of cinema. Another room dedicated to the history of crafts related to the capture and reproducibility of image displays and describes the materials and techniques used in the iconographic and photographic record of the nineteenth century lithographic stones, darkrooms (replicas of early equipment of the sixteenth and seventeenth instrumentalised artists in the period before the invention of photography), cameras, lenses and equipment that belonged to photographer Marc Ferrez, among other items.The printing techniques, along with photography, would favor the development of procedures for image reproduction by photomechanical means, which would further facilitate their multiplication. Coupled with this expansion of communication through the circulation of images in multiple media, the widescreen settled along the nineteenth century as a major form of iconographic representation. This exhibition, from the selection of works from the collection of IMS.
