Criticisms
Malocclusion
1. Against a white wall, a domestic camcorder is mounted on a tripod. Through the camcorder’s small screen, we see a person training dogs. The video lightly condenses a training process that unfolded over several months.

Criticisms
Resupination
A camera lens captures and transmits the image of an object, projecting it onto film. This primary function is something we’re all generally familiar with. Yet in the process, the lens also performs a sly trick: it flips the object upside down. This inversion, known as “Resupination”, originally comes from botany, where it describes an organ positioned opposite to its natural orientation.

Trainning
The exhibition's signature work, Training, is a video piece featuring the artist and two Jindo dogs. The artist filmed the two dogs (Mulder and Doggett) over a period of one month, feeding them and training them to follow commands like "sit," "stand," "down," and "lie down."
