In a photography studio, we see Sally, a Labrador Retriever sitting for a series of portraits. Bone unfolds as a series of conversations between male crew members, uncovering unexpected mutualities between the animal and female subject. Through these exchanges, ‘the animal’ unexpectedly takes on attributes of ‘the woman’. As a result, as the distinctions between species of animal, humans and gender become blurred. So too does the function of language: is our language a means of communication or a tool of power?
