The dog is no longer, as it was for Beuys, a symbol of primal nature, but rather the result of the most advanced culture to date—yet the relationship with it is similar. After its premiere at the Venice Biennale in 2024 and guest performances in Austria and Germany, this work can now be seen in Berlin.
Inspired by the three days and three nights that Beuys was locked up with a coyote in a New York gallery, the performance questions dog and human being in their independence and in their roles: who poses a risk, who controls whom and who can or must be tamed by whom?
