Patricia Bucher has spent over three years creating an impressive 360° panorama of a perpetual battle through the centuries. The young Swiss artist was awarded the prestigious Manor Art Prize for her work and is exhibiting her 30-metre-long and 60-cm-high computer-drawn and coloured work in a circular building with a diameter of around 10 metres at the Lucerne Art Museum. From over 2,000 depictions of war in painting, drawing, reportage, computer games and comics, she has generated a unique intertwining turmoil in which the most diverse ethnicities, fighting styles and weaponry clash throughout the centuries.
Panoramic pictures have a history in Lucerne, the city with an art museum, on whose doorstep the unique Alpine panorama on Lake Lucerne towers and where the Bourbaki panorama and the Gornergrat diorama in the Alpineum are already current visitor magnets. However, while the main focus there is on the landscape, Patricia Bucher's painting is a unique, soothing movement that transforms human history into a perpetual history of armed conflict.
