Horse & Dog

2002

Boyd Webb

'Horse & Dog' forms the latest in an occasional series of films by the internationally acclaimed artist/photographer, Boyd Webb.

Distinctively offbeat, droll and engaging, it revels in the kind of elegantly observed absurdities that have long been a feature of Webb's photographic works. The film's protagonists are a pantomime horse and dog, and its action revolves around an ill-fated camping expedition to the country.

Combining knockabout physicality with the artist's trademark visual invention and sly, sardonic humour, this deft and disarming cameo of 'man's best friends' offers an equally vividly reminder of the eccentricities of human behaviour.
