Framed #2′ is an experimental video which shows the encounter of a dog in captivity and a dog in freedom, and the bars between them. Both dogs are lookalikes. One might consider the two dogs as one. The video consists of three parts. First we see a dog in a cage; then we see how the dog inside the cage meets a dog outside the cage; and eventually we see both dogs inside the cage. For me the video started out as a project about Diogenes, the Greek philosopher ‘who lived as a dog’. Soon it became much more than that. It’s about time, identity, love and loss. About the impossibility of communication and the solitude of existence. About captivity. About two dogs together and apart and apart together.
