The work comprises a 30-metre long black and white painting, situated in a panoramic structure. The painting reflects trees from whichever location it is made for with architectural elements from the immediate surroundings. The work is not accessible from the outside and can only be seen through viewing lenses. Some of the lenses look into the panoramic painting and others look into models and sculptures of imaginary installations. The lenses distort the perspective so that the epic painting looks smaller while the models appear over-sized, subtly confounding the viewer’s expectations of the work.
The panorama invites the viewer to look at the world in a way, which is not possible in real life. Using familiar views from our surroundings, O’Kane unites architecture and nature in one structure. The spy-holes transform our perceptions of this reality, which cause the viewer to evaluate and question the world we live in.
