Gerard Byrne: 1/125 of a Second

Renowned for his films installations which re-enact conversations from specific historic moments, Irish artist Gerard Byrne works with photography, video, and live art to explore the way we understand the present through revisiting the past.

1/125 of a Second is centred around the world-premiere of a new film by the artist made in, and about, the Biologiska Museet in Stockholm: the first natural history museum to use a large-scale diorama. The 19th century diorama is often described as proto-photographic or proto-cinematic.
