William Turner in an attempt to comprehend the coastal horizon tied himself to a ship's mast in a stormy sea. In a speeding vehicle, stick your head out of the window and open your mouth. A thing that dogs love to do.

The 19th century term 'animalier' refers to sculptors who specialized in the representation of animals. A paper cast out of a clay mold after the marble bust of the firs Red Cross nurse (Athena Mesolora) is facing the corner of the wall. The back of the head has the tips of the headscarf extended. The headscarf is a reminder of antiseptic practices. From behind the figure has the ears of a dumbo, resembles an animal.

Quadrupedalism. Chairs are supported in four legs. To properly align yoursel with the horizon line you should be standing straight, in a vertical position.

When you are inside an office floor in Plaka, the foothills of the Acropolis are only visible through the window panes.

In DOG there is no dog. There is only the attempt to locate and describe the upright position of your body in relation to the landscape. Dogs suffer from color blindness, red and green being the two colors they can't tell apart. I look at the building across the street, through the glass, through the frame, behind the shutter, the curtain, the net.

I cannot state a convenient final position, I remain transient.

Every column, cylinder, pillar, conduit and tree is one-footed. I think of them driving.
