Zoopraxiscope, from In Superposition: Ice and land (Iceland 2018) is an installation showing photographs of Bevan running across the Kirkjufell landscape (Iceland) in one direction on the outside and the other direction in the inside of K.A.B building in Paris. The work uses the architecture of the K.A.B to reference the zoopraxiscope, an apparatus pioneered by Eadweard Muybridge to display images with the illusion of movement. The work is from an ongoing series titled 'In Superposition', bringing together photography and performance with quantum theory ideas on observation and states of in/visibility, recently shown in London, Paris, Reykjavik, Jakobstad (Finland) and Palermo
