Mamali Shafahi exhibits in the group exhibition 'Fever Dream' at Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem, NL, running from 17 November 2023 until 3 March 2024.
Animals in fairytales, legends and popular culture often symbolise human characters and have human attributes. Fever Dream is an exhibition that examines the relationship between people and animals, in which contemporary artists show how animals and people merge: an intense, colourful, whimsical presentation, with a hint of mischief.
The exhibition centres on a new, previously unreleased video artwork by Prix de Rome nominee Josefin Arnell entitled Beast and Feast. It features a police officer in search of the perfect police horse. The psychological torment she experiences in her search becomes terrifyingly real as she metamorphoses into her own ideal horse.
