Collector's Dog / video installtion / 7m49s / 2005

《收藏家之犬》是一個由狗擔任攝影師的錄像計畫。藝術家將小型針孔攝影機裝在收藏家的狗身上，接著由收藏家帶著牠穿梭於收藏空間，逐件介紹自己的收藏。影像並不是由人掌鏡，而是由狗的移動、視線與身體決定觀看的位置。於是，這隻狗不再只是被拍攝的對象，而成為影像的攝影者與作者。

The Collector’s Dog is a video project in which the dog becomes the photographer. A miniature pinhole camera is mounted on the collector’s dog as the collector guides it through the collection, introducing the works one by one. The images are not framed by a human camera operator; instead, the dog’s movement, gaze, and body determine the position of viewing. The dog is therefore no longer merely the subject of the image, but becomes its photographer and author.
