The main characters of Horse & Dog are a pantomime horse and a pantomime dog, and the action revolves around an ill-fated camping expedition to the country. The film combines knockabout physicality with the artist’s trademark social observation, providing a disarming cameo of humanity’s best friends and a vivid reminder of the eccentricities of human behaviour, and the accompanying guide featured an essay on Horse & Dog by the novelist and columnist Emily Perkins.

Commissioned by the Ruskin School of Art in collaboration with Film and Video Umbrella, Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, London, De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill on Sea and Milton Keynes Gallery and supported by funding from the Arts Council of England and Southern & South East Arts.
