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 artist 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.
Jeannette Muñoz’s analogue 16-mm films have been screened scarcely at all in the realm of art. Her gaze is at once radically intuitive and gentle, enabling her to see straight through her subjects, be they other humans, animals or urban architecture. It is a gaze that transcends time, too, feelingly combining the present, a historically burdened past, and the future to form a single entity. Muñoz is able to see on many levels at once and by probing her motifs probes her own way of seeing, too.
