The dogs belong to Kosovo, encountered during the artist’s ventures through the streets of Pristina. At night, the artist merged with the packs of dogs, following their movements until they dispersed and disappeared. Locals shared the story of these dogs: during the late 1990s, as Serbian troops clashed with Albanian guerrillas, domestic dogs were abandoned on the streets of the battlefield. Since then, Pristina has become a scene of roaming dog packs, with occasional confrontations between humans and dogs.
