About the sample, Andrés Duprat –director of the museum- described that these pictorial panoramas, popular in the 19th century, “They were enormous circular murals that evoked transcendent events from the past, like wars, natural disasters and historical episodes” and added: “They were realistic paintings that sought to emulate plausible scenes: were, somehow, “a precedent for cinema”.

Finally, The manager explained that in this exhibition, “Santoro rescues that format by presenting a panorama of thirty linear meters. Although it respects the formal aspect, “the artist makes significant conceptual changes”, where in principle “it is not about the representation of a historical fact, but of the staging of a personal and dystopian worldview in which the artist expresses his concerns and his critical vision of reality.", Duprat concluded.

Likewise, The artist stated that with this work he tries to “provoke an immersive experience similar to that of those panoramas from the late 19th century.”. But, in this case, “The spectacle shown is a timeline broken by a succession of signs of crises and collapses that announce the possible endings of this time.”.

The panorama - which extends throughout the room 42 from the second floor, until covering an angle of three hundred degrees‒ presents a sequence of images made in charcoal and diluted acrylic. “I decided to use the material trace of the drawing and avoid the rhetorical artifice of painting, which resulted in a bichrome of brown colors with pigments from the earth and charcoal.”, Santoro details.
