Let the Dog See the Rabbit | 2015

“A THREE-PART MEDITATION ON THE LIFE AND DEATH OF ANIMALS UNDER THE DOMINATION OF THE HUMAN GAZE.”

— DEBRA MILLER, PHINDIE

ABOUT THE SHOW

Let the Dog See the Rabbit is Lightning Rod Special’s investigation into how we look at animals. Steering clear of pink elephants, paper tigers, early birds and night owls, LDSR refuses to restrict animals to the metaphorical margins. Instead we gaze unblinking into the animal eye and reflect what we see there. The piece was a site-specific creation at The Sanctuary space inside The Rotunda in West Philly.
