NOON Projects is honored to present “The Hom(o)stead Act: Kaiserpanorama”, a monumental new project by multidisciplinary artist Yuval Pudik. Opening September 12, 2025, the exhibition reimagines the 19th-century Kaiserpanorama—a circular stereoscopic viewing device and precursor to cinema—through a queer, post-digital lens. Composed of sculpture, film, and social space, Pudik’s work is both archival and speculative: a machine for queer memory, refracting images of history, intimacy, and desire through collective spectatorship. At the heart of Pudik’s research is a meditation on the act of looking—how images structure collective imagination, and how queerness can re-center the cultural narrative. Rather than linear storytelling, Pudik approaches language and images as mutable materials, capable of recombination into new constellations of meaning. The project’s title plays on the Homestead Act of 1862, an instrument of settler colonialism and American expansion, reconfigured here as a “Hom(o)stead”—a proposition for queer futurity, belonging, and shared cultural space. The exhibition unfolds in three parts. The first is a monumental sculptural reconstruction of a Kaiserpanorama, fabricated from recycled cardboard. This custom-built device invites viewers to peer through glory-hole lenses, transforming spectatorship into a communal, erotic act. Within the viewing holes, Pudik presents a three-hour film composed of over 15,000 screen recordings. Fragmented, lush, and durational, the film unfolds as a queer archive—where desire, humor, trauma, and beauty overlap and recombine. The third act of the project, The Cavity, transforms the inside of the sculpture into a performance space / reading room / gay bar. Conceived as a site of gathering, it extends the viewing machine into lived social exchange, reclaiming hospitality and nightlife as integral to artistic production. Here, community and spectatorship collapse into one another, shifting the exhibition from object to experience, proposition to practice. Public programs accompany the exhibition throughout its 2-month run. On September 13th and 14th, The Cavity will host a two-day Pop-Up Tattoo Shop with artist and tattooer Joshua W. Rains, who has created original flash designs inspired by Pudik’s installation. On October 19, in collaboration with Del Vaz Projects, will present a screening of Messages, Messages (1968) by Steven Arnold, shown through Pudik’s Kaiserpanorama. Additional programs will convene artists, thinkers, and audiences in conversation, activating the installation as a living site of queer exchange. Yuval Pudik (b. 1978) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans drawing, photography, sculpture, neon, mail art, and film. His practice navigates the space between poetics and the political, using beauty and technical precision to invite viewers into dialogue. His identity as an immigrant and queer person informs a perspective that is both intimate and incisive—an outsider’s clarity paired with a longing for belonging. Pudik has exhibited internationally and has been featured in Art in America, BUTT Magazine, ARTnews, and Sang Bleu Magazine. He currently lives and works in New York.
