An old story so new it's still in the middle of happening
(2025)

Video installation

Presented as part of group exhibition, 'L'amour en Friche', La Friche, St-Ursanne, Switzerland. June-September 2025

​

Blending video, sound, and sculptural elements, the installation explores the ambivalent terrain of maternal love—between attachment and autonomy, instinct and education, tenderness and agression. Inspired by the she-wolf from Rome’s founding myth, the work offers a tender, comical, and at times unsettling portrait of a hybrid wolf-mother, Trix, and her two pups. The multi-channel installation draws the audience into a “fever dream” of interspecies motherhood, questioning ideals of unconditional love and the social expectations that shape reproductive labour.

​

The work was created with the help of Dillon's partner Gregory Stauffer, their two children Mathilde and Sol and young neighbour Thelma.
