“Diva the Dog”
– A sharing of work by Clara Saito after her 4bid study-time residency at 4bid gallery, OT301
Diva is a dog. The dog is the artist performing Diva for a month. Caretakers were able to volunteer to take Diva for walks in a place of their choice. During this month a camera followed these characters in their different habitats.
This experiment generated questions about productivity and instincts—in addition to sticks and holes. But is a dog’s existence then about questioning?
In this presentation you can have a glimpse of Diva’s everyday life through texts, videos and favorite objects that they destroyed on their journey.
