Magog - videos and photographs by Steven Cohen

The exhibition focuses on works made by the artist with Nomsa Dhlamini, the domestic worker who helped raise him and, now in her early 90s, continues to play a pivotal role in his life and work. In their various encounters, Cohen and Dhlamini appear as first humans, direct descendants of the apes; as people of contrasting skin colours, subject to anthropological classification; as luminous beings clad in brilliant costumes of fiber-optic light. The exhibition features new works relating to the Cradle performance and conceived for the gallery, including a video of Cohen and Dhlamini's interventions in the caves, and studio photographs.
