Everything except a dog

2023 Movie image, Installation, Performance Event

Duration: 8 hours

Collaboration with Gorilla Advertising in London, UK

Everything except a dog is an event piece in the Modalism series, a video documentation of critical pseudo-documentary films broadcast in an eight-hour parade by a television advert in locations such as the Tate Gallery, London Bridge, the Palace of Westminster and Chelsea.The work breaks away from the traditional modes of video that have been dissolved by whitecube, bringing huge screens and critical content to the streets of London, presenting narrative through grotesque elements.

The work connects across multiple media to explore the blind spots of mobile art in the public sphere. It refuses to confine art to the static viewing and theoretical consumption typical of the "white cube" space, instead taking to the streets. Through large-screen parades at locations such as Tate, London Bridge, and the Palace of Westminster, it actively intervenes using the media language of mockumentaries and television advertisements—challenging the habitual logic of visual politics in public space.

In this work, theory is no longer a retrospective tool of explanation, but becomes something disrupted, parodied, or even exiled. The moving image operates in a mobile, immediate, and unpredictable way, forcing encounters with the public—rather than being passively received.
