In her work, New York-based British artist Ellen Harvey makes use of a traditional painterly vocabulary for her strategy of appropriation, whereby she methodically juxtaposes mapping, pasticcio, and institutional critique. For her first solo presentation in Austria and the publication at hand, The Disappointed Tourist , she has chosen the cosmoramas by Hubert Sattler at the Panoramamuseum in Salzburg as inspiration for her question as formulated online: "Is there a place that you have always wanted to visit or revisit that no longer exists?"
