Dog Island merges the myths, embellishments, and rumors about two similar islands in Istanbul and Karachi, where wild dogs were exiled in the early 20th century. Instead of adopting the fixed narrative of the traditional documentary, the work adopts a logic akin to a fever dream, blending two stories to reveal the murkier undercurrents of uncertainty and violence.
