I was commissioned to do a piece for a "common" German family living in a very snobbish neighbourhood close to Munich. I wanted to do something idiosyncratic for this family taking into account the area in which their house is built. For that reason I decided to place an absolutely common object in their garden that anyone could expect there: A doghouse scaled to 4,5 meters height and a food bowl weighing 570kg. The doghouse sits an a concrete base and is called PLUTO after the famous comic figure and the smallest planet in the solar system. It is interesting that by adding a single object into a certain uncomplete system it consequentially becomes ordinary.
