While work is in progress on the exhibition and panorama, the opening date has now also been fixed: NEW YORK 9/11 will be open to all visitors at the Panometer Leipzig from 3 July 2021. After LEIPZIG 1813 and DRESDEN 1945, Yadegar Asisi includes the work in his series of anti-war projects.

On 31 July 2020 the special edition "Yadegar Asisi: Panorama. La cathédrale de Monet" of the French art magazine Beaux Arts has been published. Accompanying the world premiere of the panorama "THE CATHEDRAL OF MONET - Hope of Modernity” in Rouen, Beaux Arts Éditions analyses the artistic approach of Yadegar Asisi, describes the different threads in his oeuvre, outlines techniques and procedures of his work and places his oeuvre in the art-historical context of the epoch of Impressionism. Further information and available at www.beauxarts.com, on site at PanoramaXXL in Rouen or at www.asisi.de.

From 4 July 2020 the panorama ‘THE CATHEDRAL OF MONET – The Hope of Modernity’ will have its world première in Rouen. The highlight of this year’s festival ‘Normandie Impressionisme’ can be viewed at the Panorama XXL exhibition centre until late 2021. With this artwork Yadegar Asisi depicts the advances made in painting during the Impressionist era. For the first time, the panorama was produced entirely in oil before being digitally enlarged and printed on canvas. Asisi drew inspiration from Claude Monet’s Rouen Cathedral series, which was painted between 1892 and 1894.

Since Monday, 4 May 2020, the panorama CAROLA’S GARDEN will reopen at the Panometer Leipzig. After seven weeks of shutdown in Leipzig, it offers families or individual visitors an eventful and instructive change and addition after schooling at home or home office. The panorama is open for visits daily from Monday to Friday between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. and on week-ends and holidays until 6 p.m. The spacious rooms on site allow visits to all exhibition areas, provided that the safety distances are observed.

On Monday, 4 May 2020, the panorama DIE MAUER will reopen at Checkpoint Charlie. After weeks of shutdown in Berlin, it offers families or individual visitors an eventful and instructive change and addition after schooling at home or home office. The panorama is open for visits daily from Monday to Sunday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The spacious rooms on site allow visits to all exhibition areas, provided that the safety distances are observed.

The corona virus determines the events of these days. Yadegar Asisi has taken the general retreat into the private sphere as an opportunity to reflect on aspects of our lives that are always present in his work and to share them in a Vlog. It is about deceleration and interpersonal relationships, about art and sensuality, about society today and in the past - and the challenges for tomorrow and much more…

The panoramas of Yadegar Asisi have been seen by over 10 million visitors since the opening of the first large format panorama in 2003. An art form from the 19th century has thus been transferred into the 21st century through free approaches and new techniques. The themes include historical vedutas, unique natural regions or fateful moments of contemporary history and also new content is emerging. Multiple awards such as the German Design Award, Iconic Award, ADC Award or Red Dot Award honour the trendsetting concepts.

Three-dimensional objects created by Yadegar Asisi and insect models by Julia Stoess, enlarged up to 250 times, have enriched the panorama exhibition CAROLA’S GARDEN since the end of January 2020. This deepens the focus on nature's biodiversity, its immeasurable biological treasure and the overwhelming beauty in its complex interdependent systems.

"PERGAMON. Masterpieces of the Ancient Metropolis with a 360° Panorama by Yadegar Asisi" has been awarded a German Design Award in the category "Excellent Architecture - Fair and Exhibition". After the Red Dot Award 2019, PERGAMON has now received its second high-ranking design award.

In order to bring the Council period from 1414 to 1418 back to life, Yadegar Asisi and his team photographed about 40 extras a day to fill the new circular picture with scenes and people. During 7 days of shooting in September 2019 in the hangar in Berlin Adlershof, over 880 gigabytes of footage were produced for the figuration of the new panorama.
