Before movies took over the term, to see a moving picture was to watch a “moving panorama.” These were extended panoramic paintings depicting various scenes and landscapes, moved by a crank system so as to guide the viewer through a story visually. As a celebration of video/photo exhibition Vestal Virgin Vengeance from artist Virginia L. Montgomery, Ivester presents ye olde storytelling device as reimagined by performers Angel Rafael Blanco Colón, Ananyaa Ravi, Rajinee Buquing, Gabriela Torres, Terri M, Román Corfas, Nora Predey, and producer Leah Danze. Together they create a narrative that “explores themes of decomposition and transformation through [an] other-worldly encounter.” – James Scott
