Developed over the duration of a unique five-month residency in partnership with UAL Creative Computing Institute, nominated artists Revital Cohen and Tuur van Balen present a new film for Channel, Somerset House's online platform for art, ideas and the creative process.
A journey through a field of mustard within the cavities and digestive fluids of carnivorous plants, to a moth that looks like twin snakes nodding in the wind; a robot dog is being kicked, a dancer is rehearsing a choreography taken from a pogo dance tutorial – in this in conversation event the artist duo screen and talk through their new experimental moving image work May The Fox Take You, a film that sits within the ambivalence of an ending, attempting to accept anger, fear, love and hope as one.
