Not only are dogs allowed in the Helmhaus, they are actually welcomed. The Helmhaus is a visual arts institution belonging to the City of Zurich. Its employees are thus employees of the city, like the staff of the police department – and police dogs, come to that. For the young Zurich artist and ZHdK MA Fine Arts Alumnus Roman Selim Khereddine, these facts served as the premise of his first institutional exhibition. His video installation created specially for the occasion turns on control and hierarchies – between human and non-human creatures, between individuals and institutions, between a white exhibition space and all those who move around inside it.
The exhibition runs from 19 April to 16 June 2024
