Dog Island merges the narratives, myths, embellishments, and rumors about two similar islands in Constantinople and Karachi which were occupied by wild dogs in the early 20th century. Instead of adopting the fixed narrative of the traditional documentary, the work adopts a logic more akin to a fever dream, and seeks to combine two stories about similar islands to reveal a greater truth about uncertainty and violence.
