Exciting News! 📢

We are truly honored that collaborates again with   for her upcoming exhibition We Betrayed the Horses at , opening on April 3 🔥

🔴 The exhibition continues the artist’s investigation into the notions of care and betrayal, sensuality and domination, love and control, but will also further explore the idea of a ‘colonization’ of the animal world, of physical subjugation and non-consensual relationships. While many of the artist’s previous works centre on the animal body, her new work in the exhibition focuses on the absence of that body. 

Part of the exhibition is a two-channel video installation entitled The Absence of your Body has Shaped the Spectacles of our Past.
