Twenty Angry Dogs (Group Bark)

Synopsis

Group Bark looks like a family portrait, but actually shows people barking like angry dogs. The one-minute video is the single channel appendix to the sound and video installation "Twenty Angry Dogs", a project in which I had 20 people bark individually in front of a camera. The 12-channel installation was shown for the first time at the Bon Sang Art Center in South-Korea in March 2010.
