All life on earth operates to a daily 24-hour cycle – through rhythmic patterns of activity that are known as Circadian Rhythms. This exhibition of Irish and international artists provokes reflections on time, the cadence of working life, sleeping patterns, as well as through the impact of modern technologies on biological life.
Suki Chan's 2009 film Sleep Walk Sleep Talk, an impressionistic study of the London community, shows as part of Circadian Rhythms. The film contrasts the movements of people on their way to and from work with their individual efforts to enjoy free time – exploring how we create our own personal and psychological space outside the architectural restrictions and behavioural patterns imposed by life in the city.
