About this exposition

Operating at the intersection of fine art walking practice, psychogeography, critical animal studies and ecology, the practice of Deep Canine Topography seeks to reframe the humble act of the ‘walkies’ as a co-authored act of ‘making’ or ‘performing’ together. As part of the practice based element of my PhD thesis, Deep Canine Topography, in this series of photographs the composition is framed by the canine body, through a chest mounted action camera, set to capture stills at intervals of 10 or 30 seconds. The accompanying text is an adapted extract from John Berger's 1980 book Why Look at Animals, although in this version of the text the word animal and human have been swapped, thus shifting the position of the animal, looking at the human. Clicking on the round MAP circle will take you to the central exposition of my PhD: Deep Canine Topography.
