'THE RISING DOG' - A TOUR TROUGH EUROPE 2003 / 2004
" THE RISING DOG" is a mobile sculpture in the public space. It was made to join in ordinary traffic situations of everyday city-life. A German shepherd dog, standing beside the driver, is riding in a white Mercedes. Suddenly the dog rises through an opening in the car up to the top of the roof. After a little while the dog disappears back in the car. The head of the dog is bandaged. The work appeared usually for one or two weeks unannounced in the streets of a city.
