Israeli artist Gal Weinstein’s work can been seen this weekend as part of the 57th Venice Biennale.

The International Art Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia opens to the public on Saturday 13 May and runs until Sunday 26 November 2017.

With up to 500,000 international visitors each year, people will be able to see Mr Weinstein’s ‘Sun Stand Still’ project in the Israeli pavilion at the exhibition.

The Tel Aviv artist’s work is an installation which explores the human desire to stop time.

Mr Weinstein, who is known for his large-scale installations and his unique choice of materials, developed the piece based on the biblical miracle performed by the ancient Israelite leader Joshua Bin-Nun, who sought to win his battle against the kings of Canaan before darkness fell.
