This participant-based project explores what it means to live with a dog in a contemporary urban environment. The material was gathered using disposable cameras, a pet camera, interviews, sound recordings, a travelling smartphone, and a digital camera.

​

Embracing the unpredictable nature of animals, the photographic process relied on chance. Control over the outcome was partly handed to the participants, resulting in a layered perspective shaped by three voices: the photographer, the dogs, and their owners. The work invites the viewer into an everyday world where simplicity and complexity coexist in the lives of urban dogs.

​

Just as the relationship between humans and their pets is imperfect, so is the presentation of the work. The raw material remained unedited and was combined into photographic collages, preserving its spontaneity and authenticity.
