For Panorama Middelburg artist Marinus Boezem transformed De Vleeshal into a landscape of objects.

For Panorama Marinus Boezem erected a huge aluminium cage half way through De Vleeshal, with large theatre lights suspended from the upper joints. In this improvised `theatre` stood tree trunks, three of which supported an enormous, sculptural blue stone remote control – its `brand name`: Boezem. Boezem`s film Via Aurelia Antica was screened at the front of De Vleeshal. Via Aurelia Antica shows shots of the old Roman road from St. Raphael to Rome (the Via Aurelia); antique elements alternating unpredictably with modern features.
As does much of Boezem`s work, Panorama played contradictions off against each other: nature and artifice; the sublime and the banal; coincidence and intention; the panoramic and the close-up.
