Daughter of Dog is an exhibition at Mostyn Gallery (Llandudno, Wales) of newly commissioned works by Revital Cohen and Tuur Van Balen.

Moving across film, sculpture and sound, the show is occupied with forms of aggression, love and loss. Starting from an exploration of grief, the exhibition engages with complex emotions and their non-binary nature, and in a broader sense with reality as a composition of contradictions. The works are displayed as a constellation that looks at the void and the entanglements it holds; hyper alert, capricious, blooming, fragmented and messy.

The film of the same name is made following non-traditional methods of music composition and songwriting; bringing together (camera and body) movement, text and images to construct a score performed by carnivorous plants, a robot dog, atlas moths, german shepherds and dancers rehearsing the choreography of a pogo mosh pit.

Daughter of Dog is curated by Kalliopi Tsipni Kolaza, Curator of Visual Art, Mostyn, and kindly supported by the Foundation Foundation, Somerset House and Treborth Botanic Garden.
