Faux Terrain – Panorama Bergisel

A new building for presenting the historical battle painting Die Schlacht am Bergisel (The Battle of Bergisel) by Michael Zeno Diemer (1894). The painting, in the form of a panorama (Riesenrundgemälde), will be relocated to the original site of the battle from August 13, 1809, in Innsbruck.

What we found were constructions of complex terrains, fields and ideas: the site’s technological alpine environment on the one hand (an environment that we often still call nature), and still vivid strange mental constructions of a heroic Tyrolian history on the other hand – conceptions that allow the constitution of identities of particular social groups.

We replaced the visitor platform of the former panorama by a topography that was formed as a three-dimensional extension of the painting into its cylindrical interior, and thus we formed a contemporary mediating Double of the building’s site. From various points in and around the building one can simultaneously experience physical and mental constructions of the same site in different epochs (time of the battle, time of the painting, present time) including the actions that took/take place there.

We expect that one will be able to experience an implosion of space and time in Proustian dimensions.
