"Sterbak offers an installation consisting exclusively of video images, broadcast on a number of different screens. Unlike what we see in many of her previous works, the object which was often accompanied by a film or video document is absent here.
Composed of a series of segments of variable length, the work chronicles the adventures of Stanley the dog in the City of the Doges and, to a lesser extent, on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, the entryway for the first French explorers into what is now Canada.
We will never catch sight of the animal, however, since the images seen, along with the sound accompanying them (except, of course, the musical soundtrack that has been added), are captured by the young terrier himself, albeit unwillingly, by means of a tiny camera equipped with a recording device and a system for transmitting pictures and sound."
