Bigert & Bergström are exhibiting a series of works of art at Taverna Brillo in Stockholm, which all relate to light and darkness, sun and shadow. All works are relating to an event occuring one hundred years ago; a solar eclipse occurred that would forever change scientific history. Two researchers – Arthur Eddington on the island of Principe off the coast of Africa and Frank Watson Dyson in Sobral in Brazil – tested Einstein’s relativity theory, which describes gravity not as a force, but as a curvature of space-time. On 29 May, 1919, these men studied the sun during the eclipse and were able to confirm Einstein’s theory – the light really did curve when it passed the edge of the moon.
