Barking Dogs United

A duo formed in 2005 by Nikos Arvanitis and Naomi Tereza Salmon. Born respectively in 1979 in Athens and in 1965 in Jerusalem. They live and work in Leipzig.

The Barking Dogs United duo are drawn to the clichéd aspects of our culture, their work is grounded in the everyday through multiple references to the incoherencies of our capitalist society.
For That which comes, Barking Dogs United are exposing What You Want Is What We Want, an installation composed of skateboards which covers the ground of an entire passageway in the Couvent des Jacobins, accessible to the public. This unstable terrain forces the visitor to move in a hesitant, cautious manner. The work evokes the risks we take once we go forward, once we go through an uncertain period and the body is entirely focussed on keeping its balance.
