A double-sided work comprised of a film and work on paper, Vues/Views is a critical consideration of the role of 19th-century French panoramic wallpapers animating interiors in the United States to this day. These proto-cinematic, handblocked papers frame the interior as exterior, unfolding views of distant places, mythologies, and histories in sequential horizontal tableaux. They also allow the viewer’s gaze to travel without leaving the room, creating a voyeuristic expedition of sorts, replete with issues of exoticization and otherness, domination and control. Vues/Views traces such “panoramic papers”, many of which are still produced today, in homes across the United States, including Les vues d’Amérique du Nord (Views of North America, 1834) by French wallpaper manufacturer Zuber & Cie: a pastiche of imagined scenes of pre Civil War life, as the nascent republic evolved from colony to colonial power. In Siegel’s film, the wallpapers and their locations become a prism through which scenes of power, privilege, race, and class refract and converge, asking us to consider continuities between the country’s past and present. Collaborations with a range of fellow artists, communities, and participants reflect on the wallpaper’s social implications, giving voice to multiple perspectives. The artist’s verso panoramic is culled from discarded scenic rolls found at the Zuber factory in France.
