AN ANIMATED DOG READS BERGER, HARAWAY, KAFKA

2024
mo-cap animation,  made in collaboration with Caleb Craig

A 3D animated dog 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 24” flatscreen lying face-up inside a 24 x 18 x 19 black wire dog crate.
