Alon Benjamini

Golden Retriever

As part of our Response Series Musician Alon Benjamini has created the musical piece Golden Retriever: A musical response to Uri Aran’s exhibition Take This Dog for Example. In this new composition, certain parts are directly influenced by specific pieces within the exhibition, while others are inspired by the emotions and visions evoked by the exhibition as a whole. Enjoy the music while walking through the exhibition or at home while scrolling through the images that inspired the music piece.
