The leading character in this 3 –channel videoinstallation, is a dog who is forced to endure the hardest tests.

In the first video the dog is balancing a slice of salami on his nose. In the second, he sits in front of a huge plate of sausages that he’s not allowed to eat. In video number three, he is lying down, cruzified by salami-slices on all his four paws. He is looking down at the salami, then up towards the camera, then down at his salami-covered paws again. He’s waiting for a sign, a permission to eat. A sign that never come.
