Tor Line Panorama
At the beginning of the evening twilight on the 14th of may 2007 I stood on a pontoon in the middle of the Tor Line Yard, an active container transfer area on De Maasvlakte in the port of Rotterdam.
Setting my compass at the north I began to described the view while recording my voice via a microphone.
While turning 360º around my center I gave as much as possible information about the pier, the ships, the lights, the movements, the cranes, the sounds and so on, until I am back at the north after 30 minutes.
I later typed out this information, divided the panorama in 12 segments and made drawings from my memory in order to memorize the site.
Performance:
In any location I stand on a point with an audience around me. I use my compass to find the north and while turning around my center I once more give the oral description of the panorama in which I mention the 12 segments.
