Heaven Can Wait" is a multi-channel video installation that explores the idea of panoramic spectatorship through the phenomenon of revolving restaurants. In the installation, the viewer becomes immersed in a set of panoramic views from revolving restaurants around the world displayed on monitors arranged in a circle. Each monitor shows a particular revolving restaurant's panoramic view recorded as one revolution during the day and another one during the night. Synchronized shifts from day to night and night to day occur in a step-by-step clockwise concurrence. An original musical score composed for the installation will accompany the panoramic views on display. Kurt Weill's composition "Blues Potpourri" from "Die Dreigroschenoper" is used in the preview as a surrogate for the future original music score. Standing at the technological center point, the viewer will be gazing out upon a "global panorama" of sky-rises, busy streets, bay fronts, and waterfalls, orchestrated in a dynamic optical structure.
