The Desert Panorama, 2002-2006

The Desert Panorama represents a continuous seamless pan on a desert landscape traversed by animal and human figures. This piece is based on photographs of the Syrian Desert, produced in the 1950s by Syrian scholar Jibrail Jabbur and photographer Manoug. The original images were meant as an illustration of Jabbur's book "Bedouins in the Syrian Badia".
