On the incongruity of title, subject, and description:
A: No animal is more willing to make sacrifices on faith than a dog.
B: In exchange, dogs are fed only those scraps that their masters refuse.
On this basis, the work is Neitzcheian, pleading for an escape from a Christian, "slave mentality." However, the centerpiece of the work, the photograph, says something else when taken alone: the dog is relaxed, healthy, and idly sniffing around -- doesn't seem to have many complaints. The sepia tones add a soft, nostaligic atmosphere. Maybe either the photo or the text is sarcastic, but which one?
The last element: the disused cast-iron artifact that the dog has adopted as its bed. Perhaps this is the "scrap of a past and monstrous Age" the description alludes to: the dog is, of course, a part of the work, but the real subject is its bed. In this light, the piece takes on a sweeping perspective, becoming a commentary on everything that the transition from an industrial to a so-called post-industrial society entails. Note that the first serious rejctions of Christianity and Christian morality happened as Europe moved from an agrarian to an industrial society. How, then, are we to view our relationships with God (who- or whatever He/She/It may be) and one another, now that the world is changing once again?
Love it.
