Sarkis (b. 1938, Turkey)
Le Chien Aboyant Courait Derrière “X”, 1971
The image is from another piece, Chiens-Loups, as I was only able to locate a description of the works referenced above. But, according to Germano Celant (in Sound Art, edited by Peter Weibel, p. 154. Karlsruhe: ZKM, 2019), “a barking dog is recorded in pursuit of a man who is running away; Sarkis is both the barking dog and the running man”. This relates to my “Stray Jam” single where I am performing lead vocals as a dog.
