Brian Kenny: Tempus Futurum

Island City - Cork’s Urban Culture Trail

Thurs 14 Dec - Tues 30 Apr


Tempus Futurum by Brian Kenny is a light projection on Triskel Arts Centre that takes viewers on a journey through the building’s rich history, present and future.


The remarkable, digitally mapped, moving image artwork is projected onto the South Main Street façade of the Georgian building, which is over 300 years old. Each evening from dusk, for up to seven months a year, the captivating 10-minute looped moving visuals will be projected for all to enjoy.


Tempus Futurum is inspired by the motto “A society thrives when elders plant trees under whose shade they’ll never rest”. It delves into past, present, and an imminent future, exploring human impact on the environment.
