AN ANIMATED DOG READS JOHN BERGER, HARAWAY, AND KAFKA (2024)
5 min
A 3D animated collie demonstrates various actions while reciting a monologue composed from John Berger’s Why Look at Animals?, Donna Haraway’s Companion Species Manifesto, and Franz Kafka’s Investigations of a Dog. The dog’s face is a motion capture rendering of the filmmaker’s performance mapped onto the dog model.
The video is installed on a 43” flatscreen lying face-up inside a 42 x 28 x 28” black wire dog crate. Mo-cap animation made in collaboration with Caleb Craig.
