When encountering space we only see a portion of the full view. Limited by our cone of vision the brain works to weave together separate pictures in to one of totality of our surroundings. If one could see space all around them simultaneously, our concept of space would be very different. Rules of perspective would change and time might operate differently. Below are some examples that relate to this approach of depicting space.
The first example is a brief example of a large tradition of Chinese Scroll Painting. Artists have used this long horizontal format in various ways. Some depict a normal landscape view, other play out a narrative in successive scenes, and still others depict the passage of time from one end of the scroll to the other (Seasons change from one side to another.)

The photos sent back by the Pathfinder Rover on Mars were taken and pieced together to create a large panorama. Notice the uneven overlap of picture edges, yet the image remains unbroken.

A 360 Photo in which space warps around the photographer. Notice the difference of the sun and shadow as you scan across the image.

Below are some student examples- unfortunately, the whole image was to long to use. A detail is provided and displays some of the spatial warping.
