Landscape Panoramas
Jan Dibbets
Dutch, born 1941
1971
A chromogenic print in which Jan Dibbets assembles a series of small beach views into a grid to show how serial photographic framing can build a panoramic landscape.
What arrests you is the quiet repetition—twelve near-identical squares of sand, sea, and sky with tiny shifts in horizon, footprints, and perspective that turn a simple shore into a slow, measured rhythm.
By fragmenting a panorama into repeated, measured frames, Dibbets transforms landscape photography into a conceptual inquiry about perception, time, and the act of seeing, linking photographic practice to minimalist and land-art concerns.
