After Dark is back in June and we’re celebrating the third artwork in Sydney Living Museums’ Hyde Park Barracks Annual Art Commission, Boundary Conditions, by internationally renowned artist Daniel Crooks.

Installation

Presented on a giant monolithic screen hovering in the forecourt of the Barracks, the installation is an ambitious new video work that seamlessly weaves together an alternate world of disparate spaces and non-linear time. 

Join us as we delve into the time-spliced, fragmented digital world of Daniel Crooks. View his fascinating installation and enjoy an associated program that will take you on a visual and sonic journey.
