Dark Mofo X Rosny Farm present - Abdul-Rahman Abdullah: The Dogs

A confrontation. A boundary. A warning. Presented in partnership with Dark Mofo, The Dogs transforms Rosny Farm into a charged, immersive installation where fear, power and exclusion collide. Drawing on vivid childhood memories of being chased by guard dogs, Abdul-Rahman Abdullah creates a work that sits somewhere between the domestic and the menacing. Life-sized forms hold the space—watchful, territorial—while chandeliers cast a seductive glow over something far less welcoming. This is a world defined by thresholds. Inside and outside. Safety and threat. Belonging and exclusion. At its core, The Dogs reflects on the use of animals as agents of control—protecting property, enforcing boundaries, and, more broadly, upholding systems of power. The work draws a line between personal memory and larger histories of surveillance, ownership and division. The result is both intimate and unsettling. Beautiful, but uneasy. A space that invites you in—while making it clear you may not belong.
