Dogs

30 Objekte, Plastiform

Thirty life-size sculptures of dogs on leashes are based on photographs taken in Berlin. Dogs intrinsically belong to the city picture and share both private and public spaces with their owners. Frozen poses of the animals in combination with their grey color, inspired by the shades of the modern city suggest both natural and artificial connotations. The leashes imply owners without showing them and question the complex nature of ownership.
