PANORAMIC MOUNTAINS- Santi Yaniz

Vitoria-Gasteiz, Villasuso Palace, 13th December - 31st January

There is a very typical mountaineer gesture on reaching the summit: looking at/admiring the panorama. The panorama is to the mountains what it is to the cinema, a way of looking, a window onto that world of emotions and passions. Making photographic panoramas with the mountains allows the photographer to discover a new way of structuring the space and also the look.

In Panoramic Mountains we take a look at the closest mountains with the peculiarity of that oblong format, evoking the landscape in its widest form, like the lengthy horizons we are used to gazing at.

Place: Palacio Villasuso

Dates: 13th December  - 31st  January

Timetable: Monday – Friday.  11:30 – 13:30 and 17:00 – 19:00
