A hyperbolic image is a projection method, in which a 360° panorama is mapped onto a flat surface. This can result either in a convex or a concave world. It simulates the visual perception of an insect with its bulging compound eyes, that provide almost 360° vision, limited only by the blind spot caused by the insect's own body.
As a 15 year old kid I started to drew pictures with 180° fisheye perspective. In my attempt to capture even all 360° in my drawings (heavily inspired by M.C. Escher) I developed a perspective projection to do so.
A decade ago I discovered the possibility to make such pictures photographically with four fisheye pictures, remap them to equirectangulars, stitch them to a 360° panorama and finally remap the panorama into a hyperbolic projection. I try to pick striking subjects and manipulates these 'little planets' panoramas into perceptions on wonderful worlds.
Actually the picture of a hyperbolic panorama is taken twice. Once on location when taking 4 fish eye pictures in each wind direction. Secondly in virtuality when, after remapping and stitching into an equirectangular panorama, zenit, azimuth or nadir view, latitude, longitude, field of view and spin is chosen in hyperbolic projection.
Limited edition hyperbolics are for sale in museum quality alu-dibond-acrylic glass at 50 X 100 cm. Different sizes and versions are possible after consultation.
Some 100 works are rented out quite successfully by Business Art Service who also ordered a collection of the cities of Amsterdam, Den Haag, Rotterdam and Utrecht resulting in an assignment for 16 works.
Recently I finished an assignment for building developer Trebbe to make works of their architecture throughout the Netherlands in 3 meter wide hyperbolic panorama's.
