Hrachya Vardanyan realized this project during the elections in Armenia in 2008. A time, when brutal clashes were happening between the political parties and people. His parallel studies about the life of wild city-dogs, he found resonating aspects with the ongoing political climate: instinctive struggle for their areas of influence. Spaces are divided as societies are becoming divided. When it comes to the very basic needs or the most urgent will, it's the instincts that rule the situations.
